He was a 1965 graduate of Pineville High School and a graduate of Bluefield State College, where he earned his teaching degree. Tom spent his entire career teaching math for the Wyoming County School system, where he inspired many students with his love of math, his “D’s way or the highway” attitude, and his humorous personality.
