Tom was born on January 16, 1935 in Eros, Louisiana and passed away on July 4, 2025 in West Monroe, Louisiana. He retired from the paper mill where he was a machine tender. Tom was a veteran of the U.S. Navy. He loved his wife, Lillian with all his heart. Tom’s favorite pastimes were aggravating his wife, spending time with family, helping others, teaching people how to become independent, and watching PBR Bull riding. Tom was a huge fan of Chris Shivers and his great granddaughter, Lilly Grace Williams. He also liked going to the casino, cracking jokes and laughing, taking pictures and videos of which there are thousands. When he was younger, Tom loved cutting firewood with his friend, Bobby Johnson.  He loved making things for people instead of buying them or fixing broken things. Tom always liked to wear blue, short sleeve, pearl snapped shirts and his hair was always perfect.
