Tom was born in Holland Aug. 7, 1940 to William and Virginia (White) Buis and was a lifelong resident of the area. A true hometown kid at heart, Tom lived and breathed Holland and loved the history of Holland. He was member of the Rotary Club, and operated his own amateur radio handle on his Ham Radio. He will be missed greatly by all who knew and loved him.
Tom was preceded in death by his wife Sharon (Rozeboom) Buis in 1998; his sister Mary Lou, and his brother Bill.
He is survived by his daughter Barbara (Mark) Martinie, and son Tom (Bonnie) Buis; Grandchildren, Emily (Bryce) Johnson, Anne (Orlando) Valenzuela, Mikayla (Isaac) Bronkema; Jessica (Dom) Hunter, Taylor Buis, and Tommy Buis; Great grandchildren, Gabriella and Joanna Bronkema, Elliot and Morgan Johnson, and Hampton Lou Hunter; many extended family and friends.
A private family celebration of life will take place at a later date.
