I heard of the passing of Tom from friends while visiting my own grandchildren, daughter and son-in-law over the Thanksgiving holidays. After reading his wonderful bio I have to agree that he passed away on a very appropriate day. I worked for Hormel in Fremont for 27 years and Tom represented Jayhawk Boxes across the street. During that lengthy time Tom and the Jaywawk staff took such good care of us it seemed they all worked for Hormel too. It is hard to wrap up someones life in only one sentence but he was always happy, always helpful no matter what was asked of him and set a very high bar for service and kindness. I was proud to know him and the Stover family should be extremely proud of him. He once told me the most difficult time he ever had was trying to be on a diet and smelling his mothers cinnamon rolls come out of the oven. He actually got in his car and drove down the street to try and gather strength to resist! I don't know if he drive home or back to his mothers but a nice story.

God bless all the Stover family as Tom, the head of your family, was a special man and will be missed by all.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Tom will be missed! I could count on him every year to help with our golf tournament, and I enjoyed connecting with him each year. He was a great supporter of Fremont Habitat, and the organization will miss him, as will I, personally! Keeping your family in my prayers.
