Thomas Francis Lehmkuhl

February 8, 1958 - April 22, 2017

Tom Lehmkuhl passed away suddenly on Saturday. Everyone loved him and will deeply miss his gentle nature, kindness and sense of humor. He was born to the late Bettye & Herman Lehmkuhl and raised in Millbrae, attended St. Dunstan School, graduated Capuchino High School and earned a degree at College of San Mateo. He worked faithfully in the grocery business for Draeger’s Market the last 10 years and before that, Cala Foods for 27 years.

Survived by Dede, the love of his life, married 29 years; devoted daughter Megan; sisters Catherine Chrisman (Dale) of Pahrump, NV & Shirley Sarracino (Kelly) of South S.F.; nephew Tony Sarracino (Suzie); grandniece Lily of Santa Clara; and nieces Amy Buckwalter of N. Las Vegas & Elizabeth Sarracino-Vilanova (Rob) of Pacifica.

Tom enjoyed his annual backpacking in the Sierras, as well as golfing, reading, listening to his extensive music collection, being with friends and extended family and especially being with Dede and Megan. The trio are longtime enthusiastic Giants fans and went on their first trip to Europe last summer, seeing Tom’s countries of heritage in Germany and Ireland and also visiting the Netherlands. We are forever grateful for Tom’s loving presence in our lives.

Memorial Service will be held at 2pm on Saturday, April 29th at the Episcopal Church of the Epiphany, 1839 Arroyo Ave., San Carlos, CA. Reception to follow. In lieu of flowers, donations are welcome to either Junior Giants baseball or Second Harvest Food Bank.
