Tom proudly served his country with honor as a Seabee in the United States Navy during World War II. He was a member of VFW Post #2866 and Masonic Lodge #241 AF & AM. Tom liked to hunt and fish, and he enjoyed woodworking and making furniture. Most of all though, he loved spending time with his family, and will be remembered as a kind and gentle man, with an easygoing and caring nature. Tom was dearly loved and will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
