Read More	Thomas A Hafele was born on July 30, 1945 in Glendive, Montana and passed away on March 14, 2017, in Billings, Montana. He was preceded in death by his parents. Tom graduated from Richey High School in 1964 where he was an accomplished athlete and held track records in the 440. He received a track scholarship to Dickinson State College where he received his BA in Education and taught school in Mandaree, North Dakota. Tom married Mae Chrest in 1968 with whom he had two children. Tom is survived by his daughter, Pam Hafele Cullinan (Bob), grandson, Dillon; son Troy Hafele (Val) of Glendive, Montana; sister Elaine Hafele Swanson (Dave), niece, Erin Swanson of Wells, Nevada; sister Marian Hafele Reidelbach (Clarence), nephew Scott Reidelbach and niece Cara Reidelbach Hicks (Brad) of Big Timber, Montana. Tom is also survived by his cousins David, Bernie, Lee, and Bill Greiman; Barb, Bruce, Steve, Debra, and Teresa Richert; Anne Greiman Freistone, Karen Greiman Reilly, Katie Greiman Gerke (deceased), Sandra Greiman Schwartz; and John Sura and Dan Caruso. Farming was Tom’s great love and fishing wasn’t far behind. Summers found Tom on the river enjoying the great outdoors with his friends, children and grandson. His vegetable and flower gardens were legendary. His daughter, Pam, recalls he never wanted help with hoeing as he could always do it best. A stickler for details, Tom was known to give explicit instructions on how to pick raspberries in the proper way. His favorite pastime was hunting agates along the sandbars of the Yellowstone River and he spent many happy hours cutting and polishing agates in Troy’s garage. He reluctantly grew to love Dillon’s dog, Romo. For the past ten winters, Tom enjoyed fishing and boating on the Colorado River near Parker, Arizona. He was a natural storyteller and enjoyed the company of his friends. Special people in Tom’s life included his coach, Joe Whisonant and lifelong friends, Monte Fulton, Jim Soft, Don Klempel, Harvey Hamburg, Herb and Ralph Allard, and departed friend, Leroy Bauxbaum. Mike and LaRae Hagel invited Tom on many camping and fishing trips at Tobacco Gardens on Lake Sacagawea in North Dakota. These weekends were some of the happiest in Tom’s life. Funeral services will be held at the Savage Lutheran Church on Saturday, March 18 at 11 am. Reception to follow.
