Tom was born Sept. 16, 1924, to Arie C. and Lucy (De Jong) Noteboom, in Orange City. He attended Orange City Christian School and Northwestern Academy. He worked in Sioux Falls, S.D., then enlisted in the U.S. Navy. After a year of training, he was assigned to ship navigation duties and moved to the Pacific Theater. He was discharged in March 1946, and settled into a postal job, designing the first city routes, and eventually becoming a rural mail carrier.
On July 24, 1951, Tom married Elinor de Blauw, daughter of John and Angeline de Blauw. They had three children, a daughter, Lucinda, Mrs. Mark Huizenga, a son, Michael, who married Renee Faber, and Thomas II, who married Brenda Obbink.
Tom returned to college at Northwestern to finish a degree in history. He then studied at USD, graduating with an MA in history. He became a part-time instructor at Northwestern College for 20 years. His enjoyment of history found expression in his active involvement at the Heritage Museum in Orange City. It was during this time that the Vogel family purchased a important collection of Indian artifacts. The museum was then moved from a house to its present location south of the courthouse. Other space and antiques were added to make the museum the active place it is now.
In 1981, Tom and his son, Mike, began a business together, Noteboom Electric. This business continues to serve the area today.
Tom and Elinor were members of Calvary Christian Reformed Church (formerly Second CRC), where he served as a council member for many years.
He is survived by his wife and three children and their spouses, along with brothers, Vernon and his wife, Carol, and Arie Jr., and his wife, Mary Lou. Additionally, he is also survived by sisters-in-law, Leona Noteboom and Joanne Noteboom; and stepbrothers, stepsisters and their spouses, Harold and Ann Boonstra, Bob and Verna Mae Boonstra, Norm and Velma Boonstra, Frank and Lois Vogel, Mary Ellen Mouw, and Rudy Boonstra. They were blessed with eight grandchildren; and 11 great-grandchildren.
