Tom is also survived by his stepmom, Mary Odell; his dear friend, LeeAnn Thorne and her family; and his dogs, Max and Casey.
Tom’s sister, Carolyn, expressed her sincere gratitude to LeeAnne for everything she did for Tom so he could continue staying in the comfort of his own home.
A Celebration of Toms life will be held at a time to be announced.
To all of Tom’s family. Please accept my sincere condolences. Tom and I grew up living just a short distance away from each other in Hurley and attended school together. Very sad to learn this. Bill
Although we lost touch over the years, I have many fond memories of the times Tom and I spent at Long Lake water skiing and hanging out on Tom’s boat at the “big rock”. My sympathy to Carolyn.
