He was in his teens, 15 or 16, and most of his teammates were in their mid-to-late 20s. “Everything to me was kind of serious,” he said, “because I was playing with the big guys.” Tom’s athleticism received schol- arship interest from Oregon State University, the University of Wash- ington and several California colleges, as well as from the National Football League’s New York Giants, but he instead focused on his new family. Tom married Marianne Kent and in 1948 they had their first child, Victoria. He then went to work in the timber industry. Over the course of the next five years, he and Marianne had three more children: Patricia, Michael and Kathleen. Chips retired from the logging industry in 1990. He served on Tribal Council from 1991 through 1999 during a pivotal time as the Tribe decided to pursue gaming as a revenue-generating economic development option and opened Spirit Mountain Casino. In 1996, Tom was the top vote-getter in a Tribal Council election that saw 15 candidates seeking seats. “My emphasis has always been on our future resources – our Tribal children,” he said in his 1996 Tribal Council candidate statement. “It is important to provide the highest quality of education and health care. I attend as many Tribal chil- dren’s activities as I can and enjoy the time getting acquainted with the children.” In addition to Tribal Council, he served on the Tribe’s Timber Committee, the former Land Acqui- sition Committee and the Facility Design Committee for the Health & Wellness Center. In retirement, he enjoyed fishing, spending time with his family and watching baseball, football and basketball games. Survivors include his three daugh- ters, Victoria Lawrence, former Tribal Council member Kathleen Tom and longtime Health Com- mittee member Patti Tom-Martin, all of Salem; and his son, Michael, also of Salem. Tom’s passing marks the third former Tribal Council member to walk on this year with Darrel Mercier and Wesley “Buddy” West previously having passed. A rosary service was held Wednes- day, Dec. 27, at St. Michael’s Cath- olic Church in Grand Ronde. A funeral service was held Thursday, Dec. 28, at the Tribal gym in Grand Ronde with a meal at the Elders’ Activity Center that followed.
