Thomas D. Peters

I am a high school classmate and friend of Tom's and fellow graduate of WLWHS Class of '61. I met Tom when I moved from Michigan to Elwood in our Junior year. My new classmates were wonderful & welcoming - Tom included. I felt that I had known him all of my life. He was Smart, Talented in Sports, Honest , Witty at times, Kind & Supportive. He had a Positive Attitude and was fun to be around. I always considered him to be one of my best friends. We, along with our spouses, caught up at Reunions and frequently sat together. I was delighted when he & Christen stopped by to see us in Michigan while they were here for a concert a few years ago! My youngest daughter was home and the 4 of us went out for breakfast. Over the past few years we have talked on the phone every few months, and through Facebook I have met Audrey & her delightful Henry. He adored his family & talked about them frequently. Audrey, Christen & Jason, you were blessed with special parents! May you & your family find solace in the countless Wonderful Memories you must have!!! God Bless!

Audrey,
My parents and I are very sorry to hear about your dad's passing. He was a very nice man.
May God watch over your family during your time of need. With our sincere sympathy,

Although life took us down different paths, Tom was a dear friend during his time at Borg Warner in Muncie. We spent a lot of time together at work and afterwards. His main focus was always on his family. He would also beam with pride as he talked about them.He was a good man and the world will surely miss him.Bill and Diann Wood

Im so very sorry to hear of Toms passing. I remember him well from years ago. My love and prayers are with you Mike, Dave and your families...

Dave and Helen we are so very sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

My wife, Judi (Rudig), and I graduated from high school with Tom and offer our condolences. My earliest recollection of him is playing baseball in the Elwood Pony League, but it is likely we went back further as we both lived in the southwest quadrant of Elwood, he on South D, me on South J. Osborn Elementary was in between and was a gathering spot for pick-up baseball games so we probably crossed paths much earlier than I remember. After h.s. we parted ways but reconnected years later via social media. I saw him at class reunions and we even got together once for lunch in Carmel a few years ago. My sense is that he enjoyed his life. He was unfailingly cheerful as I knew him. A solid human being and he will be missed by many.

In times of loss and sadness, let the memories of your wonderful father bring you comfort. He was a truly special man. May the Lord comfort you all at this difficult time x

My deepest sympathies to Toms family. Tom and my husband, Dave, were high school classmates. I met Tom at several reunions. Also a friend on Facebook. Im sure hell be missed. You are in my prayers.

So sorry for you lose prayer for you family

Dave and Helen, Bill and I are so sorry for your loss. Prayers for your family.

Tom was my neighbor when we moved to Elwood in 1953. He was always a kind and friendly man. We graduated together from WLW High School and always was ready to catch up on seeing each other. Prayers for his family.

This is heart-wrenching. I talked to Tom only a couple of weeks ago on the phone. Tom and I always met for a meal or two every single time I came back to Indiana. Diane and Tom both were so loyal and appreciative of the times we shared together. We've been great friends since the early days of the online Panther Den. Visiting with Tom every single time I came back was always a highlight of my visits. We had already talked about visiting this summer. He and I could not talk to each other without a lot of laughter becoming a major part of the conversation. I will miss his laughing, I will miss his visits, and so much more than that, I will always miss Tom. I thought the world of him and he knew it. I am in grief over his passing. My heart goes out to his family and friends.

We offer our deepest condolences during this difficult time
