Thomas G. Elgin

Thomas G. Elgin, 89, of Indiana, passed away peacefully Friday morning on September 8, 2023, at St. Andrew's Village, Indiana.
Born at Indiana Hospital on July 12, 1934, Tom was the third child of four children born to Wilmont and Pansy (Boyer) Elgin of Indiana. Tom lived in Pleasant Valley for over 70 years.
After graduating from Indiana Area Senior High School, Tom honorably served in the US Army and trained as a mechanic. Once released, Tom returned home to tear down the family barn and build his business, Elgin Truck Center. Through mutual friends, Tom met his beloved, Barbara Jacob, whom he married in 1958. They celebrated 65 years of marriage this past August.
Tom was a generous man of high principle who loved life. He was devoted to his wife, loved his home, and worked hard to provide for his family. His favorite 'hobby' was talking and looking at trucks. He was a member of the Family Motor Coach Association (FMCA) and toured in his motorhome throughout the US and Canada. Later in life, he and Barbara travelled to Germany and took cruises to Alaska and Bermuda.
Tom was a lifelong member of Graystone Presbyterian Church, Indiana.
Tom is survived by his wife, Barbara Elgin and their five children: Scott (Amy) Elgin, Tammy Elgin, Greg (Michelle) Elgin, Amy (David) McDowell, and Mark (Kelly) Elgin. Tom is also survived by his seven grandchildren: Cody (Chelsie) Toy, Heather (Matt) Miller, Colleen (Patrick) Ackerson, Dylan (Rheanna) Toy, Alexis (Nate) Elgin, Sherre Elgin, and Megan Elgin.
