He was preceded in death by his parents; Tomo and Franka Lovich Morovich, and sister Frances Morovich Petrovich.

Tom was a pillar in his community of Plaquemines Parish. He operated his family restaurant “Tom’s Place”, of Empire, Louisiana until hurricane Katrina in 2005, when he relocated and retired to Walker, Louisiana.

Tom will always be remembered as the easy going, fun loving, family man who never met a stranger. He was an avid LSU and Saints sports fan. He also was a former member of the Croatian American Society, Slovenian Benevolent Association, and Masonic Lodge.

The family wishes to send a special thank you to the staff at Gentiva Hospice for their care and compassion.
