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.
