Tom was a 1978 graduate of Big Foot High School but spent most of his early life in Williams Bay Schools and it’s always been home to him.  He was primarily self-employed.  He was the founder and owner of two businesses, which included ISHOC (International Suzuki Hayabusa Owners Collective) and IceDogTags.com.  He held several rallies in different locations each year.

Tom was preceded in death by his father, Richard D. White and brother, Jeffrey.

He is survived by his mother, Lois White; siblings, David (Patricia) White, Laura Farnsworth (Van Adsit), Roger (Tracey) White; nieces and nephews, Sarah Harris, Katherine, Emily, Benjamin and Anna Nelson, and Ethan Harp; special friends, David, Liz & Family, and Daniel.

Tom served in the United States Navy on the USS Shark (submarine), and USS Kitty Hawk (aircraft carrier).  He was very proud to have served his country.

Tom loved to laugh. The Golden Girls, Leslie Nielson and Blazing Saddles were some of his favorites to watch.  Tom loved classical music, but also loved Freddie Mercury (Queen) and Pet Shop Boys.

Tom was a professional, articulate, enigmatic, inspirational, happy man who had friends worldwide. He currently holds the world mileage record of 258,000 miles on a Suzuki Hayabusa. Most of all, he loved his family with all his heart.
