He is survived by his wife Megan, daughter Melanie See (Dennis), brother Jerry Carpenter (Lorraine), sisters Pam Berkevich [Bill) and Diane Zimmerman, 5 grandchildren, 8 nieces and nephews and numerous cousins.
He was met at the gates of heaven by his parents, Mildred & Orrville Carpenter, his brother in law, Charlie Zimmerman, and his son, Gary Lee.
Tom served in the US Navy and loved being at sea. Some of his favorite memories were of his time on board the USS Midway and he often visited her in her final port of San Diego.
Tom was a loving, caring man with a gentle heart who was always willing to help anyone any way that he could.
He will be sadly missed and will be forever in our hearts, minds and souls.
