Thomas Dale Wolfe, born in Milwaukee, WI, spent his adult life in the greater Lansing area. He graduated summa cum laude from Michigan State University with a Bachelors degree in Business Administration. Tom had a 45 year career with MPC Cashway Lumber after graduating Lansing Catholic Central.
Tom was lucky enough to marry the love of his life, Marie, on July 11, 1992. Together, the two of them were avid travelers, recently reaching the milestone of touching all 50 states. Having lived in Japan in high school, he was fond of exploring the world. There was nothing he and Marie enjoyed more than having a house full of grandkids or taking off in a convertible together to explore the country.
As a devout Michigan State fan, Tom was frequently watching and going to MSU basketball and football games with his children and grandchildren.
Tom will be lovingly remembered by his wife Marie and his children Eliot (Jen), Eric, Scott (Neesha) and Alicia (Amin). Tom will also be fondly remembered by his six grandchildren Brandon, Isabella, Liam, Landen, Bradley and Nora. He is survived by his siblings Mary Jo (Jerry), Rick (Sue), Brian (Mel), and Cari and his mother Sue. He is preceded in death by his father, Joe.
Tom was the foundation for all those around him. His sense of humor was infectious and brought everyone together.
The family appreciates those being here today with us to help remember Tom and celebrate his life.
Funeral service at Gorsline Runciman East Chapel, 1730 E. Grand River, East Lansing, Tuesday at 2 p.m. Visitation Monday from 2-4 and 6-8 p.m. and Tuesday beginning at 1 p.m.
