Obituary for
Thomas Patrick Angier
Williston -- Thomas Angier passed away from a chronic illness on February 25th, 2015 at the young age of 51. Tom was born on 04/11/1963, the youngest son of Madeleine Bourdon Angier and J. Francis Angier. He grew up on the family farm in Addison, Vermont and graduated from Vergennes Union High School in 1981. He resided most of his life in Addison County but had also lived in Florida and Colorado.
Tom was a wonderful cook. He prepared several family Thanksgiving dinners and he manned the BBQ at the annual Memorial Day family cookout. He enjoyed exchanging stories and playing cards with his father and loved to be in the woods, whether harvesting mushrooms or hunting deer. Tom was very knowledgeable about plants and herbs and dreamed of having a small farm of his own where he could be self-sufficient and live off the land.
While Tom had a reputation for being a bit gruff, those who knew him well knew he also had a soft side and a big heart, often expressed in his thoughtful cards and letters. He had an exceptional memory and was an avid reader, allowing him to be conversant on almost any subject.
Tom’s loving mother, Madeleine, departed this world on December 25, 2011.
He is survived by his father, J. Francis Angier (Williston, VT), and four older brothers—John (Clearwater, FL), Michael (Spring Hill, FL), Phillip (Panton, VT), and Pierre (Laconia, NH). He also leaves several nieces and nephews and was especially close to his niece, Ashley Angier, daughter of Phil and Deborah Angier of Panton.
