Tom had a Heart of Gold, often helping out or lending a hand when he could. He had such a gentle soul & was considered as a Gentle Giant. Tom had so many nicknames that were given to him by various members of family & circle of friends, Such as Tommy, Little/ Young Tom, Toomer, Bloomenstein, Late Bloomer, Bloom Bloom, Mr. T., Bloomdigity, Chickenman, & Tom Tom. But the most affectionate one was Babe given to him by his wife.

When Tom was 4 years old, he was a member & graduate of Miss Mary Ann’s class on the television show Romper Room. He attended St. Therese Catholic School & was a 1982 graduate of D.C.

Tom met the love of his life, Jayne, in November of 2000. Together they combined their two households in June of 2002, becoming the “Bloomer Bunch” per their five children.

Tom enjoyed spending time with his family & friends whether it was camping, fishing, traveling or just hanging out at a friend’s house by the campfire. He especially enjoyed watching his grandchildren, Emma & Jaxson ride their horses at their horse shows on Friday evenings, showing their animals at the Merrill Fair, watching Zaxiver play flag football, or visiting with Paige (Paigers).
