Tom was a 1976 graduate of WCHS. Tom then went to Indiana University East and Earlham College in Richmond, Indiana where he graduated with Honors for Electrical Engineering. Tom worked for much of his life at Ardagh Factory in Winchester Indiana as a Maintance Electrician, doing a little bif of everything. He retired from Ardagh in 2022, after 45 years of service to them and after restoring the Whistle Horn to Winchester. Tom also owned Morris Electric where he would fix as much as he could for anyone and everyone that he could. He enjoyed having his brothers help him on his jobs and teaching them the trade as well. He was always supporting anyone who needed it and always willing to give the shirt off his back! Sometimes it would feel like you could live life through the stories that he would share with you. He always seemed to know most of the people and the happenings in the town as well. He was the glue and strength of the family and community and will be greatly missed!
