Tom was born on March 19, 1949 in Sandusky, OH to the late Tom and Metta (Breckenridge) Buckingham.

In his younger years, Tom enjoyed competitive swimming, playing piano, boating, fishing, and waterskiing. Later in life, he became excellent at woodworking, was a very solid marksman, and enjoyed riding motorcycles, billiards, bowling, golf, and playing on his work softball team. Many people felt Tom lived life to the fullest and stayed strong with his beliefs and principles.
