Born in Saint Peter on October 1, 1950, Tom was the son of Albert and Dorothy (Kolander) Holicky. He graduated from Le Center High School with the class of 1969 before serving his country with the United States Army for three years. Upon his honorable discharge, Tom returned to Minnesota and went to work at the foundry in Le Sueur. On August 14, 1976, Tom was united in marriage to Susan Hanks at St. Canice Catholic Church in Kilkenny. Three children were born to their union. Tom ended his working years employed with Archer-Daniels-Midland (ADM), retiring in 2013. Tom loved all things outdoors and was an avid hunter, fisherman, camper, and snowmobiler. He liked playing cards, following the Minnesota Twins and Minnesota Vikings, and visiting family and friends. More than anything, though, Tom loved being a dad and grandpa and attending his children’s and grandchildren’s sporting events and school activities. He was a long-time member of the American Legion and St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Le Center. He was greatly loved and will be sorely missed.
