Tom was born in Port Huron, Michigan. He was raised by wonderful foster parents, Stan and Shirley Munroe, whom he treasured. He is preceded in death by his wife of 54 years, Florence Carmichael. Left to cherish his memory are his daughter and son-in-law, Tammara and Michael Henebry; granddaughters Jordan Elaine Henebry and Lucy Kay Henebry; and many special friends.

Tom loved people and cherished the relationships in his life. He enjoyed going to many local restaurants and connecting with the staff. He was an enthusiastic hockey fan and an avid train lover and collector. He was very patriotic and volunteered with several veteran service organizations over the years.

He enjoyed services at First Christian Church in Johnson City.

The family would like to extend their appreciation to the staff and administration of Lakebridge, A Waters Community; the staff and caregivers, especially Whitney, of Visiting Angels; and the directors and staff of Chick Fil A W. Market St. in Johnson City.
