Tom was born December  20, 1946, in Columbus, Nebraska to Robert E. and Tillie(Brdicko) Cummings.  He graduated from Schuyler High School in 1965 and served four years in the United States Air Force with two tours in Viet Nam.  Upon returning home, he married Lynda Lacson in Schuyler.  Tom was manager of Dufek’s Jack and Jill and then moved to Abilene, Kansas where he and his brother Bob owned a Jack and Jill Store.  After retiring from the grocery business, Tom was regional sales manager for the Sather cookie Company.  In order to have more time at home, he developed a career in nursing home management.  Tom loved the game of golf and played his last round two weeks before he died.
