Thomas N. Sardelis
Died Jan. 4, 2015
NORTHPORT,
MI - Thomas Nicholas Sardelis, 75, of Perrysburg, OH and Northport, MI passed
away Sunday, Jan. 4, 2015 in Suttons Bay, MI.
Tom
was born May 16, 1939 in Detroit, the son of Nicholas P. Sardelis and Patricia O’Hairia.
Tom
served in the U.S. Army for two years and received an honorable discharge.
He
met his wife, Betty, at the University of Michigan, where he became a
radiologist.
He
began practicing radiology in Saginaw, MI before joining the Toledo
Radiological Associates (TRA) where he worked for 22 years. At TRA he rose to the position of President.
In
addition to practicing medicine, Tom was an artist, inspired by literature.
He enjoyed drawing, painting, and creating wood sculptures. His love of
Shakespeare was shared with his wife Betty and they both were avid opera
enthusiasts. They shared a love of art, poetry, University of Michigan football
and travel. Tom's deep appreciation for natural beauty and a life unencumbered
by technology was never more evident than in the rustic simplicity of their
summer home on the Leelanau Peninsula.

Thomas (Christina) Sardelis and Annabella (David Miller) Miller-Sardelis; five

Tom was an excellent radiologist and a very gracious and generous man. He was very patient and kind to me when I was starting my career at TRA and I was saddened to learn of his passing. Please accept my heartfelt condolences.
ReplyDeleteOur friendship spanned almost fifty years, and my wife and I were saddened to read of Tom's passing in The Detroit Free Press. Tom was always an elegant and kind man. His knowledge of music, art, culture, and medicine made him a wonderful conversationalist. I was happy he and Betty owned and enjoyed my artwork in their home. We were so fortunate to have known him and counted him as one of our friends. We send our condolences to Betty and the family.
