Harry Thomas “Tom” Bentley III, 84
Tom Bentley’s physical form came to rest on May 25, 2026, as his ever- constant energy slipped its earthly bounds and returned to the boundless “physics of it all,” a construct in which he believed, though said he didn’t quite understand. In that spirit, he chose to return naturally to the earth, buried in a pine box, nestled near the trees beside a quiet creek in the community he adored -- Tullahoma. At his passing, he was surrounded by close friends and family.
