Thomas Robert Beier, 72, passed away peacefully in his home on July 3, 2020 surrounded by his loving family.

Tom was born in Buffalo, NY and grew up in Coudersport, PA. While at Bloomsburg University he pledged Beta Sigma Delta Fraternity and was a loyal and lifetime friend to many of the brothers. But he always said the best part of college was meeting the love of his life and favorite travelling companion, Nardina.

Tom worked for Chubb, and Blue Cross Blue Shield, then as an auditor for 27 years until his retirement from the State of New Jersey.

A resident of Hunterdon County since 1976, Tom loved the outdoors and sports.  He coached his children’s youth soccer and baseball teams, served as president of the East Amwell Recreation League, enjoyed a good round of golf, and was an active member of the Central Bucks Bike Club, Bicycle & Adventure Club, Sitzmark Ski Club, Breakaway Billiards, and Hunterdon Hiking Club. Tom was proud of his landscaping skills and honored to be a member of the Master Gardener Program.  Until his diagnosis with Neuroendocrine Tumor Syndrome (NETs) he was an active and prolific blood donor.

Tom and Nardina enjoyed travelling all over the world. Their love of skiing, hiking, and biking took them to many destinations and they also had many adventures with their children and grandchildren.

Tom is survived by his wife of 48 years, Nardina Beier, his son Brett Beier & daughter-in-law Laura Beier, his daughter Marta Block & son-in-law Josh Block. He cherished his five grandchildren: Jacob, Emily, & Sean Beier & Koben & Mary Rose Block. Tom also leaves behind many other beloved family members, including his two sisters, in laws, nieces and nephews, and many wonderful friends.

Nardi and family..... Without a doubt, Tom was one of my favorite people on the planet. It was nice to see that Tom's tribute picture (with his Bloomsburg hat) was of both of you on the dock boat at Cobble Crest last year. Paul and I absolutely cherish the memories of the week we got to spend together. Tom truly touched many lives and I am so grateful I was one of them.

Condolences to Nardi and the family. Tom was a great friend that I first met in our auditing group. Great sense of humor and just a lot of fun to be around.

Nardi, Brett, Marta and all of Tom's family and friends - Our thoughts are with you all at this difficult time. We loved Tom's visits to Ireland and I always looked forward to chatting with him and hearing about his cycling trips or the latest garden project. He listened too and always wanted to hear about my adventures or the latest on the kid's shenanigans. We'll miss you Tom and are blessed to have known you. Fair play and keep her lit for the rest of us up there ?

Nardi — our sincere condolences to you and your family on Tom’s passing. I know we hadn’t seen each other in 50 years, but we did try to get together a few times. Now, I just wished we had tried harder. But, I did feel I get in contact with you guys through Cheek, but looking back, it wasn’t enough. I have quite a lot of memories of Tom during school which I will always cherish. We’re sorry to hear about Tom’s death and his experience with the cancer. Our sincere sympathy is with you and your family at this time. Take care and stay safe.
Robert Matteson left a message on July 7, 2020:
My deepest condolences to Nardi and all of Tom’s family. As a member on T’s BSD pledge class, I have always remembered his calm demeanor in the face of the challenges and his quick response aphorisms that lightened every situation. “That’s Beier, like beer with an I in the middle.” Sorry for your loss.

Thinking of you all at this difficult time. It was lovely to get to know Tom in the last ten years. I enjoyed his company, with interesting conversation and great sense of humour! His grandchildren clearly adored their "Pop Pop".
