Chips served on Tribal Council
from 1991 through 1999
TOM continued
from front page
team. 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.
A full Walking On notice appears
on page 14 of this edition of Smoke
Signals. n
