Thomas Victor McComb, 88, Noblesville, IN, passed away March 10, 2025. He was born in Fort Wayne, IN on October 19, 1936, to John Hubert McComb and Margaret Edith (Ridley) McComb.

Tom was a graduate of Ft. Wayne’s North Side High School class of 1954. He attended Indiana University earning his B.S. in Business (’59) and McKinney School of Law, earning his JD (‘74). He was active in numerous civic affairs. He served as President of the Ft. Wayne Jaycees and was named Ft. Wayne’s Outstanding Young Man in the 1960’s by the Ft. Wayne Jaycees. He was a member of the NU Chapter of Kappa Delta Rho Fraternity (Indiana University) and served as President of its national foundation for six years.

During Tom’s earlier years, he was a baritone soloist in several stage productions in Ft.
