Stark, Thomas S.; age 85 of Alma passed away peacefully on Saturday, February 10, 2018 at Prestige Centre in Mt. Pleasant. Tom was born January 16, 1933 to Stanley and Ida Stark.

Tom was a hard worker and started doing taxes in the 60’s for a local firm. He later had his own tax and accounting business for several years. He was diagnosed with dementia, which caused him to stop doing the taxes he loved. Tom and Ann moved to Alma in 1995. He was a very kind, gentle, loving, and giving man to all who knew him.
