Tom was an adventurer in his early life. He left home for New Mexico and the potash mines after graduation.

He worked for the ASCS USDA for 43 years, as office manager in San Angelo, then District Manager for District 11 until he retired. It was while he was working in his San Angelo office that he met the love of his life, Betty Wood. He often told us she had the "best legs in the world." They were married in 1960, and celebrated 54 years together. Tom was very proud of his three daughters, and referred to us as "his girls." We will miss him very much.

COME TO ME

God saw you getting tired,
and a cure was not to be,
so He put his arms around you
and whispered,
“Come to Me.”

With tearful eyes we watched you,
and saw you pass away,
and although we loved you dearly,
we could not make you stay.

A golden heart stopped beating,
hard working hands at rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us,
He only takes the best.
