William "Tom" Thomas Harm, of Schertz, Texas, passed away on December 10, 2025, at the age of 89. He was born on August 13, 1936, in New Haven, Michigan, to Herman and Marie Harm.

Tom graduated from high school in June 1954 and proudly enlisted in the United States Air Force on September 16, 1954. He faithfully served his country for over 25 years before retiring from the Air Force on October 1, 1979. Following his military retirement, Tom continued his dedicated service as a civilian employee with the U.S. Army Medical Command, where he worked from August 1986 until February 1, 1999. Tom married Nancy Cischke on January 29, 1955. Together they raised five children: Thomas, Timothy, Richard, Catherine, and Daniel, all of whom reside in Texas. He was also the proud grandfather of eight grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren.

Tom was deeply committed to youth and community service. He was a co-founder of the Tri-City Baseball League of Universal City, Texas, established in 1966, and previously helped found the Buffalo Valley Youth Association (BVYA) in Schertz, Texas, in August 1974. He served as president of BVYA for two years and generously volunteered as a coach for both the boys’ Pony League baseball team and the girls’ softball team. Under his leadership, the girls’ softball team won the South Region State Championship in 1984. In addition, Tom dedicated many years to the Boy Scouts of America, serving as a committee chairman and later as Scoutmaster from August 1975 until February 1986.
