Born March 17, 1956, in Danville, he was the son of the late William F. and Duane “Dewey” (Moyer) Summers. On July 19, 1997, he married the former Gail Y. Roup, and together they have celebrated 24 years of marriage. 

He was a 1974 graduate of Danville High School, and received an Associate’s Degree in Accounting from Penn College, Williamsport.  Tom was a member of Trinity Lutheran Church, Danville, where he served as the treasurer and was on the finance committee.

He was also a member of Washingtonville Fire Company #2, Danville, and the Good Will Fire Company.  Tom loved riding dirt bikes with his friends, golfing, bowling, NASCAR races, the New York Yankees and the New York Jets.  He also loved going to the beach on vacations.  He especially cherished all the time he spent with his grandchildren.
