On February 9, 2019, Thomas (Tom) K. Baxter, Esq. passed away peacefully. Born in Baltimore, MD on May 31, 1944, Tom was a graduate of Mt. St. Joe High School.  He then graduated from The University of Maryland at College Park.  After service to our country as a Lieutenant in the Coast Guard, Tom eventually went on to obtain his law degree from The University of Baltimore. Tom worked beginning at a young age and his places of employment included Hochschild's, Sealtest, and Sentry Insurance.  Eventually Tom worked for and retired from Nationwide Insurance.  Nationwide was near and dear to Tom’s heart as his brother David and father J.E.J. both spent their work careers at Nationwide as very successful insurance agents.  In addition, Tom had a private law practice on Leeds Avenue in Arbutus for many years. Tom was a beloved family man and spent every second he possibly could with them.  Tom’s second love and passion was amateur ham radio.  Tom received his ham radio license at a young age and went by the callsign K3MOV.  He made contacts all over the world for the majority of his life.
