Thomas William Montgomery
September 15, 1935 – January 12, 2019
It is with great sadness the family of Thomas William Montgomery, known as Bill, TW, or simply “Papa,” announce his passing-after a brave battle with cancer-on January 12th, 2019, at the age of 83. Bill is preceded in death by his parents, Frankie Shaw Montgomery and Thomas Montgomery, and sister Fran Salisbury. He is survived by his loving wife of 52 years, Nancy Montgomery, brother, Frank Montgomery, three daughters – Lynn Tatum, Frankie Smith, and Millie Aldrich. Bill had six adoring grandchildren – Krista Tatum, Will Tatum, Spence Smith, Adrian Smith, Jack Aldrich, and Julian Smith.
A native of Tennessee, Bill attended high school at Savannah High, coached high school football, and received a law degree from Memphis State. Prior to practicing law, Bill served in the Army during the Korean War. He practiced law in Florida, before moving to Georgia, North Carolina, and later settling in Waynesboro, Tennessee.
Bill enjoyed the great outdoors, fishing, hunting, boating, camping and gardening. He had a passion for reading, and a knack for storytelling. His infectious laugh will be missed by all who knew him. Bill’s magnetic personality and mischievous sense of humor, taught us all not to take life so seriously. He will live in our hearts, our stories, and our laughs, forever.
A celebration of Bill’s life will be held at a later date; friends and family will be notified.
A special thank you to all at Unity Hospice-Lawrenceburg, as well as friends and family for their loving care.
