Tom was born on February 4, 1941, in Troy, Missouri, to the late Charles Norman Walton and the late Idabelle Sheets Walton. He earned a bachelor’s degree from Kirksville College and worked as an accountant for many years, both in the corporate world and providing tax services and accounting independently.
An avid reader, Tom especially enjoyed western novels and science fiction, often visiting the library weekly. Known for his playful sense of humor, he loved teasing and joking with his grandchildren. In his free time, Tom enjoyed fishing, watching wrestling, and in his younger years, bowling and playing basketball.
Of all his achievements, Tom was most proud of raising his three sons and being a dedicated provider. A devoted husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, he will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.
