Thomas A. Corgiat of North Riverside, age 83, passed away peacefully. Beloved husband of Annette, (nee Russell) for over 60 cherished years; devoted father of Michael Anthony (Sherry) Corgiat and Jeffrey Thomas (Angela) Corgiat; proud and loving grandfather-"Gramps"- to Anthony, Dominic, Nicholas and Gianna Corgiat and Madeline and  Grace Greve; dear brother of Judith (late Tony) Pacelli and the late Frank (late Jacqueline) Corgiat; fond uncle of Paul, Christopher, Patrick and Jim Pacelli.

A proud U.S. Army Vietnam Veteran, Tom served his country with honor and was rarely seen without his Vietnam Veteran cap. For 20 years he served as a dedicated trustee for the Village of North Riverside, chaired the Civil Service Commission and was president of North Riverside Little League for a number of years. Tom was also a former Commissioner for the Proviso Township Mental Health Commission. After decades in the lumber business with Big Bay Lumber in Chicago, he retired proud of the fact that he sold all of the lumber that built the original American Eagle roller coaster at Six Flags Great America. Tom enjoyed golfing, bowling and boating, and was a lifelong, die-hard fan of the Chicago Bears and White Sox. Above all, he was a friend to everyone he met and never missed a chance to thank a fellow veteran.
