Thomas Emerson Nonnemacher, 71, a longtime Emmaus resident, died April 15, 2022. He was the son of the late Harvey Jack and Christine (Roth) Nonnemacher.

He completed his education at Emmaus High School in 1969.

He loved sports, especially the Emmaus and Salisbury teams. As a longtime Phillies fan, he knew an amazing number of baseball statistics. He made many friends over his life and loved talking to people, especially on the phone in his later years. He had a great memory for birthdays and special dates and always called to share his well wishes. He loved the large family gatherings and often reminisced about those happy times.

In his younger years, “Tommy Ticket” sold raffle tickets and sandwiches for many nieces and nephews school or sports fundraisers. Everyone he knew was a potential sale!
