Thomas Lee Waterman

He was born January 5, 1949 in Evansville, Indiana to Laura Jean (McPike) Waterman and Donald Lee Waterman. He was a 1967 graduate of Reitz High School and attended the University of Evansville. Over the years he held numerous jobs, but his favorite long-term employment was with the Vanderburgh County Highway Department.

Tom loved having a good time with his friends and classmates, but most of all spending time with his family. He was a likable guy and never met a stranger.

He is preceded in death by his parents; and brother, Mike Waterman.

Tom is survived by his sister, Connie Maurici (Steve); sister-in-law, Anne Waterman (Mike); nephew, Doug Waterman (Kelly); nieces, Ann Patterson (Kyle) and Mary Jones (Justen); great-nephew, Kaleb Patterson; great-nieces, Hannah Waterman, Taylor Patterson, Mia Jones, and Allie Jones; and many cousins.
