Tom attended St. Joseph’s school in Davenport, graduated from St. Ambrose University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Chemistry, and received a Master’s Degree in Environmental Engineering from the University of Iowa in 1962. He spent his entire working career of nearly 40 years at the City of Cedar Rapids Water Department plant at J Avenue NE. He began as the laboratory supervisor and retired in 2001 as the Water Quality Assurance Manager. Tom had great passion for his work and always kept a keen interest in the field, staying current with water quality publications even after retirement and was a long time member of the American Chemical Society. Staff members in the water department labs Roger, Barbara, and Amy were like a second family to him.
Tom met his loving and devoted wife, Ruth Jurgens, at the Water Department Office. Their first date was to go fishing; something they enjoyed doing together. Ruth always says that she caught a real keeper that day in 1981. They were married
on September 1, 1984, and to their marriage two sons were born, Christopher Thomas in 1985, and Michael Thomas in 1986.
The Noth and Jurgens families wish to thank Tom’s specialists; Dr. David W. Zenk, Hematology, of Iowa Blood and Cancer Care, and all their loving and caring staff; and Dr. Francis K. Buadi, Hematology, of the Mayo Clinic of Rochester, Minnesota. Tom had the highest admiration and respect for these professionals who cared for him so well throughout his long journey with the cancers. Also special thanks to Hospice of Mercy for their dedication in his final days, and to Linn-Mar Schools and many friends and neighbors who so unselfishly gave such incredible support to Ruth and her family.
In lieu of flowers a memorial fund has been established and contributions should be made directly to the family in care of Cedar Memorial Park Funeral Home, 4200 First Ave NE, Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and will be distributed to charities of Tom’s choosing.
