George Thomas (Tom) Rose, 73, of Liverpool, NY and Lakeland, FL passed away at the Lakeland Regional Medical Center on Christmas Eve 2017 following a brief illness. Tom was born on June 19, 1944 in Watertown, NY to the late George S. and Nasle Jacob Rose. He was a 1963 graduate of Watertown High School, a U.S. Army veteran, and a 1967 graduate of Jefferson Community College. Tom married Faye Ryan on January 14, 1967.

Tom’s 40-year career included positions as an Auditor for the New York State Department of Taxation & Finance, and as a civilian employee of the U.S. Army Medical Department Activity (MEDDAC) at Fort Drum. He retired in 2008 and began winter residency in Florida.

Tom is survived by his wife, Faye, son Tom (Sharon) Rose, Liverpool; and daughters Chris (Holly Maltese) Rose, Syracuse, and Debbie (Scott) Urban, Egg Harbor, NJ; grandchildren Henry and Jack Rose, and Jude and Alexandra Urban. Also surviving are brothers Michael J. and Robert L. Rose, and sister Martha Rix. Besides his parents, Tom was predeceased by a sister, Judith (Robert) Kramer.

Tom was a very handy fellow who, self-admittedly, could “take a two hour project and make a weekend of it.” He enjoyed puttering around his home and landscaping his yard, as well as tackling odd jobs at the family camp on Pillar Point. Tom was known to enjoy a fine cigar now and again, and he was an avid fan of Mets and Yankees baseball – a bonus when paired together! He was a devoted husband and father who had varied musical interests during this lifetime, though he was most passionately a lover of opera, having for many years been a season ticket holder of the Metropolitan Opera in New York City. He will be greatly missed.
