Thomas (Tom) A. Gore, 60, passed away Thursday, July 22, 2021, at his home surrounded by family after a courageous battle with cancer.  He was born June 13, 1961, in Wausau, son of the late Mary (King) Gore and Rufus Gore.   Tom began working at Village Inn Pancake House and Restaurant while attending Newman High School. After graduating he continued working at Village Inn for nearly 10 years becoming an assistant manager and eventually the manager. Later he attended Northcentral Technical College and worked as the service manager at Stark GM. In 2005 Tom joined his Featherstone Cabinetry family, where he spent his last days doing what he loved.   Tom was dedicated to his family and will always be remembered for his willingness to help others and for his unconditional love for his family and friends. He enjoyed spending time with his grandchildren, including many sleepovers, attending as many baseball, football, basketball, soccer games, and dance recitals as he could. Tom's love for woodworking remains visible in the many pieces of beautiful furniture he made for his family.   Survivors include three daughters, Melissa, Samantha, and Kaitlyn; seven grandchildren, Brandt, Mya, Sophie, Stella, Charlotte, Katie baby, and Piper; father Rufus Gore; siblings Ann, Dan, Wayne, Bruce, Beth, and Robin; in-laws, many nieces and nephews, extended family members and many dear friends.  His mother, Mary (King) Gore, passed away just three days after Tom. He was preceded in death by an infant sister and Stacy who was like a daughter.  Visitation will be from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. on Wednesday, August 4, 2021 at John J.
