Thomas Hendrick passed away May 23rd at his home in Buellton after a lengthy illness. Tom was born February 5, 1938, at Cottage Hospital and lived most of his life in Santa Barbara County. He attended Santa Barbara city schools including Santa Barbara High School, class of 1956.

After serving in the Navy on a destroyer in the Pacific, Tom worked in construction and farmed for many years in the Santa Ynez Valley. In later years he owned an antique, collectible, and plant shop, which enabled him to combine his love of gardening, shopping at estate sales, and refurbishing furniture.

Tom was predeceased by his parents Charles and Betty Hendrick. He is survived by his wife Anne, sons Bruce and Michael (JoAnne), sister Charlotte Moore (Ralph), brother-in-law John Petersen (Betty), granddaughters Julie Sainz (Carl), Karen White (Austin), Kimberly Hendrick, and Kristina Hendrick, three great-grandchildren, and several nieces, nephews, and cousins.
