Loving husband, father, and grandfatherOn Saturday, March 13, 2021, he passed away at the age of 78. Tom was preceded in death by parents, Stan and Liz; and siblings, Roger and Michael.

A proud graduate of Minneapolis North High School Class of 1961, Tom’s unparalleled love for life and people was known to all who were lucky enough to meet him. Everyone who knew Tom, knew his love of camping, skiing, and nature. Thomas was family to some, friend to many, but kind, always kind, to all. Celebration of life to be had this summer.
