He grew up in the area and graduated from St. Joseph High School in Dunlap and furthered his education by attending Creighton University in Omaha, Nebraska. On February 9, 1963, Tom was united in marriage to Joyce Hoffmann at St. Patrick's Catholic Church in Dunlap. At that time, Tom was employed at the Dunlap Co-op and then they moved to Harlan, Iowa and was employed at the Co-op there. He soon became Assistant Manager of the Co-op at Sibley, Iowa and for 29 years, Tom was the Manager at Berne Co-op in Ute, Iowa. While managing there, Tom envisioned diversification in the business and was instrumental in building Berne Co-op's Ampride Truck Plaza in Denison, Iowa, a successful accomplishment. Tom and Joyce moved to Tyndall, South Dakota where he managed the Co-op for one and a half years. He also served as interim Manager of the Co-op in Colton, South Dakota and the Salix, Iowa Co-op. For five years before retiring, Tom managed the Taygold Co-op in Clearfield Iowa where he also opened the Taygold Community Store. Along with all this, Tom also became an Independent Agent for the Hoffman Agency and did taxes for H and R Block in South Sioux City, Nebraska. Tom was a true businessman and loved his work. He was still actively following up on his business arrangements right up until just a couple days before his passing. Volunteerism was important to Tom and his years of service to the Ute Community Club, the Loess Hills Hospitality Association, and the Ute Ambulance Service where he was active as an EMT and held the office of treasurer.
