George Thomas ‘Tom’ Granger
June 29, 1925
Feb. 27, 2013
The Lord called George Thomas “Tom” Granger home from his labors on Feb. 27 at his niece’s home in Tahlequah, Okla., with his family gathered by his side. Tom was 87 years old.
George Thomas “Tom” Granger was born on June 29, 1925, in Kent to Med and Irene (Auer) Granger. He was one of 11 children born into the Granger home.
Those left to cherish Tom’s memory include his loving daughter, Shirley Karman of Lonsdale, Minn.; two brothers, Ralph “Bud” (Ruth) Granger of Sidney and Donald (Audrey) Granger of California. He leaves two sisters, Ruth Granger-Stump of Van Wert and Katherine Granger (Tom) Smith of Landeck. Tom’s legacy lives on in his three grandchildren, Mark (Jennifer) Karman of Columbus, Elsa Karman of Williamsburg, Va., and Patricia Karman of Lonsdale, Minn. His great grandchildren include Connor Karman, Patrick Karman, Aidan Karman, Riley Karman, Edward Karman, William Karman, Dorothy Karman, Drake Karman and Dreznar Lehmkuhle; a very special niece and friend, Jennifer Hale of Tahlequah, Okla.; and many nieces, nephews, cousin and a host of friends and loved ones.
He is preceded in death by his grandparents, his parents and his loving wife, Corky; his daughter, Gayle Engle, in 1979; his son-in-law, William B. Karman in 1999; five brothers, Mike, Carl, Jim, John, and Robert Granger; and one sister, Jeanne Schaffner.
Upon graduating from high school, Tom enlisted in the US Navy during World War II. He worked on the ore boats on the Great Lakes for the next two years, then met and married the love of his life, Corinne “Corky” Davin on March 1, 1947, in Duluth, Minn. This union lasted 55 years and blessed them with two daughters.
Tom was never one to sit and watch the world go by. He worked diligently for the US Naval Reserve and retired after 22 years. He served as career command counselor for the Naval Reserve Center in both Ashville, N.C., and Gulfport, Miss. He was a member of Naval Fleet Reserve Association. He retired after 30 years as the administrative officer for Job Corps and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. He served as treasurer for the Rotary Club in Burns, Ore., was a Rotary member in Medina, N.Y., and president of the Boston Union National Federation of Government Employees – U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Chapter and the Nocturnal Adoration Society in Alburquerque, N.M. He was past president of the PTA in Salisbury, Mass.; Newport, Mass., PTA Council; Holy Name Society in Salisbury, Mass., and Alburquerque, N.M.; Lawton-Ft.

Whenever he had some free time, Tom could be found taking his wife dancing. He loved country and western music, taking a long walk with his beloved Boston Terriers or relaxing at home watching a good western on TV. He was a loving husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle and a friend you could rely on. He cherished the time he spent with his family and enjoyed holidays with his family close around him.
From the youngest toddler to the oldest member in the room, everyone was given the famous smile he always kept on his face. Tom loved people and it showed. He was always the first to say hi and made you feel important whenever you spoke with him. He worked tirelessly to improve the lives of those around him in any capacity he could.
His loving wife Corky passed from this life in 2002 and Tom found himself longing for warmer climates and family to share them with. He relocated to the Tahlequah, Okla., area and was a member of St. Brigid Catholic Church. He was loved by all and a very special man. He will be greatly missed for his warm smile and all the love he shared with those around him.
Mass of Christian Burial for George Thomas “Tom” Granger will be held at 11 a.m. on Saturday at St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church. Burial will follow in St. John’s Cemetery, with the Delphos Veterans Council providing military graveside services.
