Tom was the son of the late Robert and Florence Niswander and is survived by his children Shane (Mindy) Niswander of Pendelton, South Carolina, Dana (Jason) Smith of Glendale, Arizona, two grandchildren, his brother Charles (Brenda) Niswander as well as several nieces and nephews. He was also preceded in death by his two brothers, Robert "Butch" Niswander and Michael Niswander.
