Tom was born, July 18, 1931 in Sutton, Nebraska the son of Henry and Wilhelmina (Ehly) Fehr. He grew up the middle child of 10 brothers and sisters, all speaking German and English while working on the family farm. Years later he would tell stories of when they installed electricity and indoor plumbing. He graduated from Sutton High School in 1948 and enlisted in the U.S. Army on May 9, 1952. After basic training, he served as a draftsman in the Korean War, stationed in Taegu, Korea. He was honorably discharged with the rank of Corporal on March 31, 1954. He furthered his education at the University of Nebraska, Lincoln, where he studied engineering, then later transferred to Gulf Coast Bible College in Houston, Texas. While there, he met Velma Saathoff of Grand Island. Tom and Velma were married on December 22, 1959 in Hastings, Nebraska. The couple made their home in Grand Island. He lived a life of loyalty and devotion to his faith, family, tractors and college football. Tom was fond of saying, "Plan your work and work your plan." He was employed by Ford New Holland for 25 years, finishing and detailing combines. Tom was an active member of First Church of God in Hastings where the family attended for many years. Tom's garden was the pride of the neighborhood, especially his tomatoes. There were always more than enough to be shared. He was a devoted Nebraska Cornhusker football fan and listened to or watched every game over the span of decades. He also enjoyed polkas, German home cooking and vintage tractors. His bright orange 1955 Allis Chalmers WD-45 won best of show and he drove it in the World's Largest Tractor Parade held at the Nebraska State Fair in August of 2012. Those left to cherish his memory include his wife, Velma Fehr of Grand Island; son Gary of Lincoln, Nebraska, two daughters, Rhonda of Calumet City, Illinois and Michelle (Liem) Nguyen of Austin, Texas, three grandchildren, Owen, Miles and Eli Nguyen; two sisters, Verna Arnall of Grand Island, Nebraska and Norma Hannon of San Antonio, Texas; three brothers, Milton Fehr and Henry (Jeannine) Fehr of Sutton, Nebraska, and Ronald (Charlotte) Fehr of Omaha, Nebraska.
