Thomas Ourada Obituary
He was born on September 14, 1927 in Boise, Idaho.
Tom lived in Cheyenne since 1946, served in the U.S. Navy during WWII, and worked at Halladay Motors until 1961. He later owned Royal Chevron Service Station and Tom the Tireman.
He married Nanette Wood in 1945 and had two children, Tracy Ourada (Gayle) of Cheyenne, and Teri of Tucson, Arizona. He is also survived by three grandchildren; four great grandchildren; and six great-great grandchildren.
Tom was a life member of the VFW and American Legion, a 58 year member of the Frontier Lions Club, and the Cheyenne Balloon Club.
"My body got old and tired and not good enough to be recapped. My son is going to put my remains in a tire, round and round I go."
In lieu of flowers, please donate to the Lions Club or the Animal Shelter.

I believe that my father Lawrence Benjamin Dickman and Thomas were ship mates during WWII. These are some photos I found recently in some of Dad's photos and thought I would share them with you.
