Obituary: Rev. Thomas G. Cleveland

Rev. Thomas G. Cleveland died peacefully on March 20, 2020, surrounded by his wife and his four children in beautiful Tamworth, N.H. He was 92 years old and died of general old age complicated by pneumonia. The COVID-19 virus had nothing to do with his death.

“Hey, Hey — what a day, what a day!” was Tom’s signature greeting to friend and stranger. He had a great love of nature and was lucky to spend adolescent summers canoeing in Canada and later, as a new episcopal priest, living and working in Athabaskan villages on the Innoko and Yukon Rivers in Alaska. Not to mention vacationing in and retiring to Tamworth, where Mount Whiteface and the rest of the White Mountains glistened in his front yard.
