It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Board President, Mr. Thomas Bellavia.
Mr. Bellavia began his service to the Tangipahoa Parish Teachers’ Credit Union in 1970 and became Board President in 1979, faithfully serving in that role for 47 years. His dedication, leadership, wisdom, and unwavering commitment to our members and community helped shape our credit union into what it is today.
He was more than a leader — he was a trusted friend, mentor, and advocate whose impact will be felt for generations to come. Mr. Bellavia will be greatly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing and working alongside him.
Please keep his family and loved ones in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
With heartfelt sympathy,
Tangipahoa Parish Teachers’ Credit Union
