South Barre, Vt. —
On Sept. 12, 1970, he married Sherry Goss, who was his high school sweetheart. They were married in White River Junction and made their home in Barre, Vt.
Tom was an active member of the Barre Fish and Game Club for over 36 years and a Vermont Hunter Education instructor for over 30 years. In his spare time, he enjoyed hunting, being at camp, watching NASCAR, Thunder Road racing and just being outdoors. He especially enjoyed spending time with his family and friends. He enjoyed “Parker Day,” teasing “his two boys,” and visiting his other grandchildren in Georgia. All of whom always warmed his heart. He will always be remembered for his sense of humor, which at times irritated his wife, but that never stopped him.
He leaves behind his wife, Sherry of 46 years and their three children: a daughter, Kristina Oliver, her husband Mitch of Georgia; their sons, both of Barre Town, Tommy White and his wife, Katie and Joey White and his wife, Sara; his five grandchildren, Natalie, Madison, Chloe, Brandon, and Parker; his mother-in-law, Sachiko Drown of Williamstown; his sisters, Betty Clermont of Berlin and Diana Tuthill and her husband, Bruce of West Hartford; sister-in-law, Janet Boucher and her significant other, David; many nieces, nephews, and cousins; as well as lifelong friends Paul Remick and Ed Smith.
He was predeceased by his parents, his brother Robert White, sister-in-law Janice, and sisters Donna Conrad and Ramona White.
In honor of Tom’s request, there will be a celebration of life on Sunday, Aug. 21, 2016, 12 noon at the Barre Fish and Game Club. He wanted a true celebration of life and everyone is asked to bring a memory to share.
In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made in his name to the Barre Fish and Game Club, PO Box 130 Barre, VT 05641.
