Thomas A. "T-Bone" Barlow, 71, of Worcester, passed away peacefully at home on Thursday, August 22, 2024. He was the beloved husband of Susan M. (Ploch) Barlow.
He was born in Framingham, MA on June 18, 1953 and was the son of James E. and Ruth C. (Abbott) Barlow. He graduated from Framingham High School class of 1971. An honorably discharged veteran, he proudly served his country as a member of the United States Navy.
Tom was a skilled craftsman who loved the art of woodworking. He was known for his ability to refinish tables and create wood carvings. He could often be seen walking through the woods to find wood that he could repurpose for his creations. In addition to his woodworking abilities, he loved spending time in his patio garden and also enjoyed visiting Duxbury Beach in Rhode
Island. He was a parishioner of Faith Baptist Church in Auburn.
Tom will be deeply missed and fondly remembered by all who knew him. In keeping with Tom's wishes, services will be private.
