Thomas was born July 27, 1946 in Ottumwa, Iowa to Marion and Gladys Woodrow. When he was five, the family moved to Mississippi. He grew up in a small town there and graduated from Brookhaven High School in Brookhaven, Mississippi. He was an ambitious young man and worked various jobs including at the Drive-In Theatre and at a T.V. shop. He graduated from Copiah-Lincoln Community College in Wesson, Mississippi with an interest in electronics. He met Sandra Ray in his hometown and they married February 18, 1967. Later that year they made the move to California and settled in the Bay area. Tom worked for Lockheed Missile & Space for a while and then held various jobs in similar fields. For over twenty years he operated his own consulting business in the electrical power industry. Tom and Sandra enjoyed trips on their Gold Wing motorcycle in the 1970's and he always liked to tinker with the latest gadgets coming out of the computer era.

He loved spending time with their daughter Alisa and he enjoyed their play time as she grew up. Owning his own business kept him away from home quite a bit so he decided it was time for a change. He took a job at Schweitzer Engineering Laboratory in Pullman, Washington in 2007 and they moved to Pullman. Tom worked at SEL in the electrical engineering field that he loved until October of 2020 when he retired.

He is survived by his wife of 54 years, Sandra, at their Pullman home; his daughter, Alisa Woodrow of Citrus Heights, California; and two granddaughters, Isabella and Riley. He was preceded in death by his parents and by his brother, Jack. On-line guest book is at www.kimballfh.com Kimball Funeral Home of Pullman is caring for the family.
