Tom loved fishing and woodworking and spending time with his family…especially his grandkids. They were the joy in his life and every Sunday was “Papaw” day. Thanks Ben & Espie. He also loved seeing his little “Charlie girl” on Skype in Australia. Thanks Clint & Liz. Tom was a great Husband, Father, Brother, Uncle, Friend, and Papaw and will always be in our hearts. He fought a hard fight but healing wasn’t to be. Thanks to all the medical people at St. Vincent Heart Hospital, Hendricks Regional Health ER and Medical Floor, Cancer Center, and Vista Care Hospice who took care of him and let him stay here with his family a little longer. Thanks to special friends, Allen & Wanda Lady, Jack & Darla Greene, and neighbors Dave & Jeanne Polson. Per Tom’s request, there was no funeral service. He requested a Celebration Gathering and it will be held at the Hendricks County Fairgrounds Sunday, August 25th from 2-7 pm. Please join us in remembering this wonderful and courageous man
