Thomas Hugh Munsell

Dates: Birth date: August 13, 1943 Death date: January 06, 2010

Obituary: Thomas Hugh Munsell born on August 13, 1943 died on Wednesday, January 6, 2010 in an auto accident outside of Pittsburgh, PA. A lifelong resident of Ann Arbor, MI, Thom is survived by his wife, Debra Darden-Munsell, daughter, C. Dru Munsell and her fiance David Rosenblum, as well as cats Cleo, Vinyl, Tao, and Whitney. Born and raised in Ann Arbor, Thom was a loving husband, father, friend, and active community member. He was incredibly proud of his wife, Deb, and daughter, Dru, who is preparing to enter Columbia University this spring. An accomplished audio engineer, he is the founder and owner of Acoustech audio and speaker company. Thom was one of the last Renaissance men. His inquisitive nature led him to explore and love geology, physics, fly fishing, mountain biking, sound and music, mechanics, art, metalwork, ceramics, gardening, plants, food, cooking, and cats, to name but a few. An avid listener of NPR, Thom strove always to expand his understanding of the world around him. His intelligence, humor, kindness, generosity, “Munsellisms,” and indefatigably positive passion for knowledge and creation will live on in the memories of those whose lives he touched. He leaves behind many who loved him very much. A memorial service is planned for March, and Nie Funeral Home of Ann Arbor (Liberty Rd.) is taking contact information for those interested.
