He was born on September 2, 1930 in Fayette County to the late Frank and Ruby (Rowe) Larkins. He graduated from Greenfield McClain High School. After graduation, Thomas proudly served his county in the United Stated Army where he was stationed in Korea from 1952-1953. He was also a Free & Accepted Mason of Ohio for many years. Tom retired in 1985 from Armco Steel after thirty years of service. He enjoyed working on cars, working on the farm, traveling, and spending time with his family.
