Thomas Milton Altman

Thomas Milton Altman, aged 90 ½ passed away peacefully on April 12, 2026 at his home in Sebring Florida. Born on September 3, 1935, in Bartow Florida to Marvin “Doc” and Olivia Altman, Tom led a life marked by dedication, service and a deep love for family. He spent his early years in Wauchula and later moved with his family to Homestead where he graduated from Redland High School. Tom served his country honorably in the United State Air Force, training for duties in the states, but serving overseas in North Africa.

Tom attended the University of Florida and graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Accounting. He returned to South Florida, and excelled in the industry, reaching managerial level status with a large National firm overseeing the Southeastern states. As an independent, incorporating as Altman Financial, Tom contributed to the financial excellence of several businesses located in Florida, Georgia, Pennsylvania, South Carolina and Colorado.

He embraced an active lifestyle! His parents’ love for camping and hunting in the Everglades, and Fish-Eating Creek, fostered a strong connection to the outdoors. He was an exceptional marksman, hunting in Florida, Alaska and Africa. Tom took up the sport of golf, and later, horseback riding. He piloted his own Cessna plane and maneuvered a 40-foot recreational vehicle across the country. Always faithful, and a believer in God, Tom was a devoted member of St Agnes Church in Sebring where he attended Sunday service regularly. His faith was a central and cherished part of his life. Thomas Altman’s legacy is lovingly remembered by his beloved wife, Linda Altman; daughter, Karen Altman; and nephews, Mark Altman, Steven Altman, and Greg Chaney and niece Amy Permenter. Thomas was preceded in death by his parents, his first wife Margaret Carr Altman and his only brother, Dwain Altman.
