Born June 26, 1926 at Watts Hospital, he was son of the late Roderick Milner Love and Zoe Yoder Love. He attended Hope Valley School, Carr Junior High and graduated from Durham High in 1944. He was a WWII veteran of the U.S. Navy, serving from 1944 to 1946. He graduated from Duke University in 1950 where he was a member of the Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity. While at Duke he was a member of the Hoof & Horn Musical Society, composing music for two shows, flapper sales and Bells and Ballads. He performed rehearsal piano for flapper sales and was in the pit for bells and ballads.

    Mrs. Frances,
    I just learned of your husband’s passing today 8/14 and just wanted to take a minute to offer my sincere condolences for your loss.
    I always remember your kindness when I was a clerk with Kroger years ago.
    Please give Tony my condolences as well.
    May the memories of your lives together be a great source of comfort and may He lift you up daily in the peace only He can provide.

    I was both surprised and saddened to learn of the death of your husband and father, Tom. We were in the mountains attending an 80th birthday bash for my sister in law so did not know in time to attend the service. Please accept my sincere condolences for the loss of your husband and father.I was always envious of his ability to sit and play from memory, any song one might mention…such a talent!!

    Worked with Tommy at Liggett/Myers in Paris for 4or 5 years.* We had a good time and enjoyed working with him. That was back in the 50’s.
    Thoughts and prayers are with you. I lost my husband in 98.
