In 1950, he graduated from Bloomfield High School and farmed the family farm his entire life. Tom had many occupations over the years. He drove school bus for the Bloomfield/Oak Hill School district for 20 years. He would later retire from the U.S. Postal Services as a rural carrier with over 40 years of service and a million miles driven accident free. He served his community as a Bloomfield Township trustee and operated a farm supply business at the farm. Tom was a U.S. Army veteran who proudly served his country.

Tom married June (Lambert) Jones in 1958. June preceded him in death in March of 2016.

Tom enjoyed going to the stock sale where he developed long standing relationships with his fellow farmers. In addition, he found great pleasure in talking to the many people along his mail route. He never met a stranger and always enjoyed the people he met along his life’s journey. He will be missed not only by his family but the many friends and acquaintances he met during his lifetime.
