Thomas E. Wooten, 56

BELMONT — Thomas Edward Wooten of Belmont, formerly of Weymouth, Massachusetts, passed away after a tragic accident on July 21, 2016.

Beloved husband of Allison (Flipp), loving father of David of Edwards, Colorado, and Samantha of Tilton. Devoted grandpa to Grace Andrews.

Beloved son of Helen (Shea) Wooten and the late George Wooten.

Brother to James (Sharon) of Amherst; Jean McDougald (James) of North Augusta, South Carolina; John (Virginia Lawless) of Tolland, Connecticut; Anne Leonard (Robert) of Middleboro; Joan Hunter (Edward Callahan) of Weymouth; Paul Wooten (Nancy McCue) of Center Harbor; Donna Harrington (Richard) of Kingston; and Stephen (Tracy Lomax) of Eugene, Oregon. Much loved son-in-law of Carl and Connie Flipp of Weymouth and the extended Flipp family.

A cherished uncle to many nieces and nephews.

Tom loved the great outdoors — fishing, hunting and camping, lakes, meadows and woods — and, most of all, his family and friends. He will be remembered fondly for his beautiful smile, his quick and dry wit, and his gentle spirit. He worked and played hard. Genuine and generous, the life he built with Allison was a masterpiece and serves as a model to many.

Tom attended public schools in Weymouth and graduated from Norfolk County Agricultural School. He was a dedicated employee of the Northfield Department of Public Works and formerly with Hanabury & Sons, Weymouth, Massachusetts.

A Memorial Service will be held on Sunday, Aug. 7, at 1 p.m. at the Memorial Arch of Tilton located on Elm Street, Northfield, followed by a Celebration of Life luncheon at the Pines Community Center, 61 Summer St., Northfield. All are welcome.

In lieu of flowers donations may be made in his memory to the charity of your choice.
