Tom's life was marked by an unwavering passion for the hands-on arts. He enjoyed the serenity of his garden, where he could often be found tending to his plants. Tom’s hands were rarely still, as he was always engaged in some form of creation, be it building arts and crafts, remodeling a room, or sitting quietly with sewing and crocheting projects. His talents were vast, and his creations will be cherished for generations to come.

A celebration of life to honor Tom will be held at a later date. Cremation arrangements are under direction of Fohn Funeral Home in Cassville.
