Life story

The world became brighter on August 2, 1945, the day that Tom was born, in Bellevue, IA. The son of Emmett Healey and Lucille (Dague) Laack. Tom attended St. Columbkille’s & graduated from Wahlert High School in 1964. At which time he enlisted in the Army, serving in Germany as a Medic.

Tom married the love of his life, Mary Ann Keating, December 27th, 1969.

Tom was a dedicated worker for 42 years with Flexsteel Industries. He enjoyed bartending, playing softball, bowling, pool, and golfing. Tom’s biggest enjoyment was his children and grandchildren, never missing an event, even beating the busses to those events. Tom enjoyed commiserating at the Veterans Freedom Center. He was always cracking a joke or expressing a goofy face with all he met.

Tom left his family knowing he provided a loving upbringing for his family leaving many fond memories behind. His stories and jokes will be sadly missed at family functions but his wife, Mary Ann, sons and grandchildren will continue his legacy and laughing about his goofy corks.
