WITT, Thomas Leroy "Tom" Thomas Leroy Witt, "Tom", was born in 1951 in Decatur, Illinois and moved to Texas in 1954. He departed this world June 28, 2017.

Tom grew up in Dallas, Texas and eventually moved to Austin, Texas in 1988. He was employed in the property tax field and school funding for 42 years. His greatest jobs were being Frances' husband, father to Raegan and T.J., father-in-law to Kelly and Kevin, and grandfather Taylor, Avery and Cecilia. Tom's joy was his family and the shared experiences they enjoyed. Frances and Tom traveled extensively together and with family members. He was a guitar player, card and board game enthusiast, fisherman, creative partner with his granddaughters, and told often that he was a "crazy" Grandpa by his granddaughters, a role he relished. Tom lived his life on his terms and faced life's challenges boldly.
