Thomas Edward Spicer was born in 1934 and raised in Downers Grove, Illinois. He graduated from

Downers Grove High School and graduated from the University of Wisconsin in Madison, WI with both a

bachelor’s and master’s degree in education in 1962. Tom lived a life rich in experiences, always eager to

explore new horizons. Thomas E. Spicer, age 90 of Frisco, TX, passed away peacefully, leaving behind a

legacy of love, adventure, and wisdom.

Tom was married to his beloved wife, Delores, for 68 wonderful years. They married in Wisconsin

Rapids, WI on November 24, 1956. Together, they built a life filled with joy, learning, and shared

passions. They resided in Wisconsin, Florida and Texas. As educators, Tom and Delores cherished their

summers together, taking time to enjoy the beauty of the outdoors and the warmth of family.

Tom had a diverse career, enjoying his work as an elementary school principal, stockbroker and a middle

school math and science teacher. He found fulfillment in these roles, relishing the opportunities to

connect with others, mentor and share his knowledge. He had a life-long love of baseball, football, snow

skiing, trivia quiz shows and Western television and movies.

Tom's love for nature and travel took him across the country. Tom enjoyed growing Christmas tree

forests in Wisconsin, camping trips across America, the sunny beaches and pools of Florida, and the

wide-open spaces of Texas. He truly enjoyed caring for animals on his Texas ranch in New Braunfels, TX.

He is survived by his devoted wife, Delores, and their three children: Julie England of Texas, Steve Spicer

of Colorado, and Susan Skinner of Texas. He also leaves behind two grandsons and two great-grandsons,
