Congratulations to “Tiger Tom” for reaching 100 and being married to his wife of 56 years.
I remember listening to him regularly when he was at WANT radio station. Yes, there was only one Tiger Tom. He continued to do what he loved for more than 50 years.
I noticed in the article that he reads the Free Press and daily newspapers every day. That is great that an icon his age wants to stay current on events.
Great job, Free Press, for delivering such an in-depth article on Tom Mitchell and his life. I knew some things about this life, but certainly not all of this. You gave us a wealth of information.
Tiger Tom, we salute you and wish you and your wife many more years of happiness and bliss. Thanks for the memories! Job well done.
