Thomas Arthur Zeitz

Thomas (Tom) Arthur Zeitz, age 61, of Sebring, Florida, formerly of Cleveland, Ohio, passed away Saturday, September 14, 2013, at his home. He is survived by his loving wife, Karen Zeitz of Sebring; two step-sons, Wayde (Vicki) and Derick Finnicum of Indiana; one step-daughter, Wendy (Todd) Hite, Gahanna, Ohio; four step-grandchildren, Meghan, Tristan, Connar and Tanner; two brothers, Ralph (Wanda) Zeitz of LaGrange, Ohio and Dale (Suz) Zeitz of Garfield Heights, Ohio; sister-in-law, Lisa Zeitz and nephew, Louis of Columbia Station, Ohio. He was preceded in death by his parents, Dorothy an Arthur Zeitz; a brother, Mike Zeitz and niece Dotty Scotty. Tom, dear friend of many, was employed by Sears Lakeshore Mall in receiving, and had at times been mistaken for Santa (as indeed he was Santa's helper many times over). He leaves this physical earth with smiles and love for all and wishes nothing but good, as he was and is the best inspiration and example of a good, kind and loving man. A Memorial Service will be held at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday, September 17, 2013, at Stephenson-Nelson Funeral Home, Sebring, with Rev. Robert Thorne officiating.
