Tom graduated from Northview High School in 1968, and he will be greatly missed by his lifelong school friends Gene and Patti Birdsall and Richard and Lorraine Copron. He retired from Rapistan Demag after 40 years of service in 2009. For 32 years he was a devoted member of the Sons of the American Legion, where he made many lifelong friends.

Tom loved golf, and was able to remain an avid Michigan State fan, despite the divided house on game day against Michigan! GO GREEN!
