Thomas Lee Herrboldt was born on February 9, 1943 in Yankton, South Dakota to Eugene and Laurene (Wright) Herrboldt. He was baptized and confirmed at Salem Reformed Church in Menno, South Dakota, where he also attended school. On March 29, 1968, he married Patricia Ann Hall in Kaylor, South Dakota. Tom worked for Art Handel, Sr. for several years before moving west of Scotland, where he and Patsy farmed for 23 years. During this time, Tom served as an elder and a trustee at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in Scotland as well as a board member for the Scotland Co-op. Tom retired in 1999 and he and Patsy moved into Scotland. After retiring, Tom worked for South Plains Ag for several years.
Tom was devoted to his family, and enjoyed spending time with his children and grandchildren. He took pleasure in driving his Ford pickup around town and working with his hands, particularly in woodworking. He was well known for bantering with his friends and neighbors in town. Tom always had a smile and a wisecrack for everyone he met.
Tom is survived by his wife of 40 years; three children, Scott (April) of Woodinville, Washington; Jeff (Deb) of Scotland, South Dakota; Amy of Quincy, Massachusetts; and three grandchildren, Bryce, Paige, and Karina. He is also survived by his father, his siblings, Merrith (Judy) of Bay City, Michigan; Lonnie (Connie) of Yankton, South Dakota; Sherril Dubs of Menno, South Dakota; Dave (Jennifer) of Menno, South Dakota; numerous nieces and nephews; and many friends. Tom was preceded in death by his mother, Laurene, in 2006.
Tom passed away peacefully in his home on March 5, 2008 surrounded by his family and loved ones. He will be greatly missed.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to be made in Tom’s name to the Scotland Area Hospice Association.
