Former Eagle PSSR Tom Kelly Passes Away
September 19, 2023(Montgomeryville, PA) It is with a heavy heart that we must share the passing of Tom Kelly after a long illness.
Philip “Tom” Thomas Kelly was born in Lansdale, PA in 1952. He was drawn to laboring with his hands on machines for a profession. He worked at gas stations, garages and farms. Tom joined the CASE Power service department in 1987. Later as Eagle Power’s Parts and Service Sales Representative (PSSR) Tom helped customers familiarize themselves with their new machines upon delivery and was a trusted point of contact for any issues which arose during its operation. He retired from Eagle Power in 2019.
“Tommy was a huge presence here at Eagle” remembered Matt McDonald, President of Eagle Power & Equipment. “He had a big, loud laugh and an even bigger big heart. Customers loved and trusted him for his extensive knowledge of our products and his honesty. Tommy told it straight, good news or bad, and his customers always appreciated it.”
He was a kind soul who filled the room he was in with good humor, a friend to all who met him. He is survived by his beloved wife Linda and a tremendous family of children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Our thoughts are with his family, his friends and to all who he touched during his career.
In lieu of flowers donations in Tom’s name may be made to:

Pat DiCicco, Eagle Power Sales Representative, Passes Away
June 21, 2023
(Montgomeryville, PA) It is with tremendous sadness that Eagle Power & Equipment must share the sudden passing of a beloved member of their company, Pat DiCicco. Gifted with a tremendous heart and appreciation for others, there is hardly anyone in the industry working in the Delaware Valley whom he has not touched in his over 50-year career.
Born in the Philadelphia area in 1947, Pat started as an assistant parts manager at State Equipment Corp. in 1967. Seeking to move into capital equipment sales he joined CASE Power Equipment in 1971 as a trencher salesman. His attention to the needs of customers allowed him to take responsibility over a full CASE line territory in 1973. He was one of the many who formed the independent Eagle Power and Equipment in 1996 after the company’s purchase by Jerry McDonald. Throughout it all he was the personal connection customers had with the brand and organization. Always greeting folks with a smile, a joke, and an unwavering commitment to doing right by them.
