In his later years he accomplished writing several published short novels, however his lifelong passion was archeology and was a true spirt of the desert Southwest. Not only could Tom be a gregarious person but also enjoyed his solitude while camping in the wilderness. He is truly missed by those who love him and knew him well. Tom was preceded in death by his father, Jobe W. Abbott, mother Lottie M. Turner, brother Bob Abbott and former wife May Abbott Fujuwara. Tom is survived by his daughter Deborah Abbott-Loeffler (Roland), grandsons Samuel C. Streep III, Christopher J. Loellfer (Krystal), great grandchildren Angela Martinez & Kaleo S.

I just learned of the passing of this awesome man. He was a great friend and co-worker and I was a fan of his books. But more than that he was a US Marine..that was an instant bond for this country girl from SC who missed her Marine dad and a wily prospector type personality of the desert rat professor that I knew Tom to be...Thank you Lord for Tom Abbott and the funtimes he made for us at Prepared Food..he was a lot of things but he was a dear friend..Fly high Tom...Semper Fi, Marine.
