Tom retired from Marsh supermarkets, many years ago, as an over the road truck driver. Tom never let the grass grow under his feet; spending his retirement doing things he loved. He was an avid craftsman in woodworking and could fix literally anything! Toms best time spent was with the love of his, Betty, where it was obvious he was happy all the way down to his soul. Tom also spent a great amount of time with his family, kids, and grandkids over the years making many unforgettable memories. Tom was an amazing son, brother, dad, papaw, husband, uncle, and friend to many and his absence will leave a massive void in the lives of his loved ones.
