On May 10, 1975, he married the love of his life, Ann Marie DeGrand, in Escanaba, MI. Their 50 years of marriage were filled with deep love, mutual respect, and countless cherished memories. A hardworking and loyal employee, Tom retired from Chevrolet in 2005 after 36 years of service. He took pride in his work and the friendships he formed throughout his career. For 45 years, Tom was a devoted member of Holy Rosary Catholic Church, where he actively volunteered his time and talents.

Tom will be remembered for his kind heart, strong work ethic, and unwavering devotion to his family and community. His presence will be deeply missed, but his spirit will live on in the hearts of those who knew him and loved him.
