Tom was born on December 13, 1940 in South Bend, to the late Ray and Clara (Sobczak) Meuleman. He is also preceded in death by his brother, Kenneth Meuleman; and nephew, Brett Meuleman.

He won fisherman of the year in 1995; he was a master Crappie angler. Tom was also a member of the PNA 83 where he won over many hearts as a Bartender.
