Thomas Ludington Obituary
He was born Aug. 8, 1954, in Providence, R.I. to Donald and Jean Ludington.
Tom followed his father's footsteps and served honorably as an E4 sergeant in the United States Air Force. He was stationed at Webb Air Force Base in Big Spring, Texas. He continued to serve his country through employment at Tinker Air Force Base in Oklahoma City as a Pneudraulic Systems mechanic until his departure.
He was an avid lover of the sky and became a pilot. He had a great love for airplanes and the ocean, and had recently begun building guns as a hobby. He will be lovingly remembered as a very loving father and a dedicated employee with great work ethic.
Tom is survived by his wife, Bambi of Del City, Okla.; one daughter, Holly Jean Ludington of Big Spring, Texas; three stepdaughters, Tiffany Costa, Lacey Duhon, and Shasta Yarbrough; five grandsons, Zachary Ludington, Isaiah Ludington, Jaiden Ludington, Gavin Greathouse, and Luke Greathouse, all of Big Spring Texas; one great-granddaughter, Livy Jude Ludington; two sisters, Susan Ludington of San Diego, Calif., and Karen Ludington of Winnemucca, Nev.; and three nieces and one nephew.

I've worked with Tom for several years at Tinker in Bldg. 200. Very kind man and helpful. He would share stories with me on what was happening in his life and was so happy that he had married Bambi. Bambi, I am so sorry for your loss. May the Lord surround you with His comfort and peace. He was a good friend to me and was always wanting to help me with my day to day struggles with diabetes. I'm sorry I missed the funeral service. I found out about it today.
He will be missed.
