Thomas G Cartwright

Thomas G. Cartwright, 83, a long-time resident of Leo, passed away on Wednesday, February 16, 2022. Born January 16, 1939 in Fort Wayne, he was the son of the late George and Pauline (Lahrman) Cartwright. After attending Leo High School, Tom served in the U.S. Navy from 1956 to 1959, and the U.S. Army from 1961 to 1964. Following his honorable discharge, he worked for International Harvester (Navistar) for many years in both Fort Wayne and Springfield, OH. Tom was happiest when he was busy “doing” - fishing, hunting, camping, fixing, working and helping others. While he enjoyed a good book, a good beer and a good laugh, Tom was not content to sit and watch life pass him by.

Tom was preceded in death by his wives, Kaye (Flueckiger) Cartwright, and Beverly (Ziemer) Cartwright, sister Gloria (Clarence) Parr, brother-in-law Wallace Fleuckiger, and grandchild, Hannah Stailey.
