Thomas J. Albanese Sr., 67, devoted husband, loving father and Pop-Pop passed away on Tuesday, Oct. 26, 2004 in Lewes.
Formerly of Wilmington, Tom retired from the Wilmington City Police Department in 1978. He went on to retire from the DuPont Experimental Station, after 15 years of service. Until recently, he worked as a security guard at the Beebe Medical Center.

Tom enjoyed cooking for his family and friends, not to mention himself. He also loved to work in his vegetable garden. No one ever left his house without one or more of his famous dishes and a bagful of fresh vegetables from his garden. He also enjoyed fishing, crabbing and spending time with his family.

Tom was very proud of his family and his family was very proud of him. He was a great provider, a loving husband and father and the best Pop-Pop in the world. He is and always will be sadly missed.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Frank and Pauline Albanese and his brother, John.

Tom is survived by his devoted wife of 47 years, Elvie (Morris) Albanese; his five loving children, Paula Campbell and her husband Douglas; Tom Albanese, Jr. and his wife Barbara; Susan Maynard and her husband, Doug; Fran Matthews and her husband, Bill; and Frank Albanese. In addition he is also survived by his 11 grandchildren, Nicole Cruces and her husband, Robert; Melissa, Beau and his wife, Pamela; Jennifer, Christin, Jeffrey, Michael, Andrew, Clayton, Leah, and Tamaron and his great-granddaughter, Anjoli Cruces.

A mass of Christian Burial was offered at St. Mary Magdalen Catholic Church, Concord Pike and Sharpley Roads, Wilmington, with burial in Cathedral Cemetery, Wilmington.
