Tom was born on June 14th, 1937 to Walter and Violet Vorwerk Reinhart in Higginsville, MO. He lived a number of places in his life, ultimately retiring to Lake of the Ozarks in 2000. Tom was graduated from the University of Missouri with a degree in industrial engineering in 1961. He was a member of the Alpha Tau Omega fraternity and a life-long Missouri Tiger fan.

Never one to take life easy, shortly after moving to the lake Tom was elected as a Trustee for the Village of Four Seasons. He was instrumental in the building of the hiking and biking trail in the village, in adding two playgrounds, and was looking forward to the opening of the bark park that is currently under construction.
