From The Upward Bound Students
In Memory Of
TOM TOMAGANUK

You taught so much to young and old alike. We will remember and do our best. In your prayers you showed that you cared and through your teachings we learned a whole lot.

You gave so much you are remembered. In your songs you made it beautiful and more beautiful when you prayed.

We have more to know and I hope that we make use of our time instead of wasting it. We know that you are still praying for us and we hope we'll make our moments beautiful by sharing together our faith and in preparing the way for our Lord.

Tom Tomaganuk (Tumarneq), was born on September 5, 1902, in Hooper Bay, Alaska. He passed away on October 27, 1981 while he was in the hospital in Bethel, Alaska. Tom had been a fisherman, trapper, hunter and cannery supervisor. In the 1920's he worked seasonally with the Boxer which was the first B.I.A. supply ship to service this area from Seattle. He helped build the Air Force site at Cape Romanzoff, worked at the gold mine in Nome and was the first Native in Hooper Bay to own his own store. He also had a store in Chevak. Tom served with the Territorial Guard and was a member of the first Village Council here in Hooper Bay. He was elected to the Covenant Church Board and was the Chairman for the Lower Yukon Covenant Conference for a number of years. Tom was a good man. May he rest in peace.
