He was united in marriage to Susan (Frantz) Bovin on August 23, 1997 in Owosso. In 2001, Tom and Sue moved to Delta County and have remained there ever since. If Tom wasn’t hunting at his camp or fishing, you could find him in his workshop building furniture and novelty gifts for his family and friends Tom cherished time spent with his friends and family, especially the grandchildren.
