Thomas Cummins, age 81, passed away surrounded by his wife and seven children on October 25, 2021. Beloved husband to Patricia, devoted father to Kelli, Darci, Chris, Melanie (Brian), Erin (Lucas), Megan (Grant) & Jessica. Cherished Pop-Pop of 14 grandchildren, Sam, Marli, Emma, Cooper, Sully & Grady, Quinn, Devyn, Nolan, Cal & Shaye, Drew, Vance, & Mae.
Tom, better known as Chief, was the proud owner of Lee's Famous Recipe restaurants. He enjoyed life, especially golfing, Cincinnati sports teams (not always the Bengals!), beach vacations, & going to the movies. Chief never missed his grandkids sporting events...he was their biggest fan. Above all, his greatest passion was his love of family and creating lifelong memories. He has left a legacy of love, tradition, perseverance, as well as losing keys, wallets, phones, remote controls & glasses just about everywhere he went.
We will be gathering to share memories, to laugh, to cry, but mostly to remember this amazing man who will be greatly missed. If you have any special memory or story to share about Tom, it would make our hearts so happy! In lieu of flowers, the family would appreciate donations to the charity of Chief's choice, which holds a special place in his heart, The Ronald McDonald House.
A Celebration of Life will be held at Ivy Hills County Club, 7711 Ivy Hills Blvd., Cincinnati, OH 45244 on Friday, November 5, 2021 from 5pm-8pm
