Tommy lived 76 amazing years. “Sax”, as he was known by many, was born November 30, 1943 and passed from this life on July 28, 2020. Tommy loved his country and served as a soldier in the Army Reserves and was a member of the Masonic Lodge. Tommy was loved by many. He owned “Tommy Saxon Barber Shop” and was fortunate to do what he loved for nearly 60 years. He was a family man who always put his family first. He was a proud husband, father, grandfather, and great grandfather. Tommy was an avid fisherman, and when he could, he and his wife, Rita would spend most of their weekends at the lake. They loved spending time together outdoors catching the most white perch and noodling for catfish. The fish would always run and hide when Tommy was out on the water…the white perch are now safe to come out of hiding. The Drew community will definitely miss Tommy Saxon and his tall tales.
