James T. "Tom" Reingruber, age 69 of Southampton, passed away Thursday December 3, 2015 at Holy Redeemer Hospice in Meadowbrook. He was the beloved husband of Judith Lynn (Dalton) Reingruber with whom he shared 27 years of marriage.

Born in Falls Church, Virginia, he was the son of the late James and Linnie (Foster) Reingruber.
