Beloved husband and soulmate of Bonnie G. Chatterton for almost 50 years, loving Dad and best friend of daughter Kerri L. Chatterton and son Tom J. Chatterton, hero and older brother of Betty A. (Bill) Stuart. Tom is deeply loved and respected and will be greatly missed by the many people who’s lives and hearts he touched with his kind, gentle spirit, warm laugh and selfless expressions of compassion and love. Upon his passing, his final gift was the donation of his corneas to Gift of Hope in honor of his niece Joanne Netz (Michigan), who so generously donated her kidney to a friend in need and in appreciation of the loss of sight that his son, Tom, personally experienced and was blessed to regain through the miracles of The Lord and medicine.

Tom is also survived by sisters-in-law Donna (Guimont) Huisinga and her husband Don (Arizona) and Ginny (Guimont) Robert (New York), five nieces and nephews (Jill, Joanne, Sara, Kristin and Marc) and seven great nieces and nephews (Sam, Ben, Elizabeth, Sophie, Max, Sally and Penelope).
