Lafayette Urban Ministry
and served as President of the Board of Directors in 1976, 1978, and 1987. Tom was one of the members of the LUM “Dream Team” – the group of four leaders who worked to get LUM incorporated and collaborated on a
scholarly report
that still serves as the model for LUM. In 2015, the Dream Team established a
fund to financially support research projects
relative to urban ministries. A
Celebration of Life
will be held at Hippensteel Funeral Home on
Saturday, January 11
, 2020.
The family will be welcoming visitors starting at
1:00 p.m.
with an informal tribute to follow.
Tom was born April 22, 1927 in Whiting, IN, and married the love of his live, Peggy Fultz, in 1951. He earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Trade & Industrial Education and a Masters Degree in Industrial Education, both from Purdue University; and a doctorate from the University of Illinois in Industrial Education. Tom was on the faculty at Purdue from 1956 – 1990 as a Professor of Supervision, and was one of the original Department Heads when the School of Technology was established at Purdue. Tom was a member of the Lafayette Friends Meeting (Quakers).
Those who knew Tom remember him for his wisdom, kindness to all, and for his wit and sense of humor. He leaves a legacy of a life-long appetite for knowledge,
enjoyed art and music,
and was an avid reader, particularly about history, ships, and the sea. He enjoyed traveling with his wife and together they visited over 36 countries. He was a lifelong Chicago Bears fan, and suffered through the NFL season annually with his usual “maybe next year.” Above all, he loved his family. Surviving are his daughters, Ann (James) Osterling and Karen Hull (Jeryce Boucher), and his grandsons, Jeffrey and Michael Osterling. Tom was preceded in death by his wife and his parents, Glenn and Dorothy Hull. To share memories and condolences online, click
