Thomas O. “Tom” Printy, 84, a resident of Prattville, AL, died on Friday, October 12, 2018 after a short illness. Born on February 11, 1934, Tom was a native of Rochester, NH. He joined the U.S. Air Force in 1954, in which he proudly served for 22 years, including service abroad in Germany and in the Vietnam War, before retiring from Maxwell Air Force Base in 1976. Afterward, he worked for BellSouth for almost two decades. In his retirement, Tom devoted much of his time to his loving wife of 55 years, Luci, especially through her struggle with Alzheimer’s. He also was an active member of St. Joseph’s Catholic Church in Prattville, serving as usher for many years and later enjoying time with the Young at Heart Group every Monday. He was known by all of his friends for his love for Prattville High School football. In his later years, he made many new friends at John Knox Manor, where his wife resides, as well as through the Alzheimer’s Family Support Group in Prattville. He left a mark on many, especially in recent years, for his caring spirit and sense of humor, and his relationship with daughter Linda deepened during this time, for which she is grateful. He is survived by his loving family, wife Lucienne Printy of Montgomery; daughter, Linda Printy Lee, and son-in-law, Tom Lee, of Wetumpka; brother John E. “Jack” Printy of Jacksonville, FL; and many loving nieces and nephews. He is predeceased by his parents, John S. and Miriam D. Printy; brothers, Robert D. and James M. Printy; and nephew Danny Printy. A visitation will be held on Tuesday, October 16 at 10 a.m. at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church, 511 N. Memorial Dr., Prattville, AL, followed by a funeral Mass at 11 a.m. Graveside service with military honors will be held at Prattville Memory Gardens, followed by a lunch reception at St. Joseph’s. The family would like to express a special thank-you to Leslie, Laken and Judy at Jackson Hospital, and Tasha and Carol with Answered Prayer for the TLC they provided to Tom. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in memory of Tom and in honor of Luci to: Alzheimer's Education, Resources & Services, Inc., PO Box 231266, Montgomery, AL 36123.
