A 1979 graduate of Westland High School, he never forgot the Far West Side of Columbus with frequent trips to Tony’s Coney’s and drives by places that meant a lot to him. He was a loving guy who enjoyed trucks, jeeps, off-road trail rides, model cars, and pizza. He never met a stranger. Nearly 30 years ago, his life changed after being shot at his workplace. He has lived in assisted living since but still kept a sense of humor that served him well.
He was preceded in death by his parents and grandparents, Thomas and Garnet Bush and Norman and Frances Martin.
Tom is survived by his sister, Rev Lynn Martin (Janine Barnhart), aunts, cousins, and friends. There will be no formal service at this time.
