Charles Thomas “Tom” Dunlap passed away at his home on Monday December 26, 2016 at the age of 63.
Born June 1, 1953 to Charles I.O. Dunlap and Katherine Hoddinott Dunlap in Roswell, New Mexico. He attended St. Peters Catholic School and graduated from Goddard High in 1971. Tom went on to college at New Mexico State University on a full ROTC scholarship. He was a reserve pilot for the United States Air Force and later went on to Boston University for his Justice Degree.
Tom worked many years as a partner in the laws office of Dick Bean. Mr. Bean had been a longtime advocate for the elderly which gave Tom a strong foundation in elder law over more than 20 years of their partnership and close friendship. He was a good friend to many, loved a good debate, and had a unique sense of humor. He will be best known for his activism and advocacy in service of elder rights as well as his generosity for those in need. Tom was active with the Roswell Commission on Aging and the Chaves County Joy Center. He always looked forward to his Thursday afternoon coffee at Denny’s with his close friends and was a great supporter of the Dallas Cowboys.
Tom Dunlap, you are greatly missed by your friends and your community.
