Tom served in Ohio National Guard from February 20,1970 until his honorable discharge November 20, 1975 Tom was a self-employed owner operator of Miller Ranney Plumbing Company in Columbus, Ohio and surrounding areas for almost 47 years. He was known as the problem solver. He could solve just about every plumbing problem presented to him even over the phone while he was practicing his golf skills on his favorite golf course at Rattlesnake Ridge Golf Course in Sunbury, Ohio or Key West Golf Course in Key West, Florida. If he wasnt at the helm of his plumbing business, he could be found at his home in Key West enjoying the warmth, food, drink, music and camaraderie of friends and family and it was the same in Ohio as well. His second passion was fishing in Lake Erie, Canada and especially in Key West always with the goal of catching the big one. He absolutely loved his family and enjoyed being around his grandkids. He loved to play board games and card games and enjoyed competitive croquet games during summertime picnics in the back yard and having backyard barbecues not only with his family but also with close friends. He knew so many people and touched so many lives. He is missed dearly.
