ROGERS — Glen Thomas “Tommy” Undernehr,
age 69, passed away in Springdale on June 7, 2020. He was born May 18, 1951, in Rogers, Ark., to Edward and Georgia (Hedrick) Undernehr.
Tommy was well-known around the Rogers area. If he wasn’t working on some car, he could normally be found at the local breakfast joint with a cup of coffee. In his younger years, he was also widely considered one of the better pool players in the area. Professional players and gamblers of the time gave him the nickname “Arkansas Tom.”
Tommy was a generous man. He was always willing to help those in need with mechanical problems whether it was with a car, truck, dump truck, or airplane. When any of his friends or acquaintances were in the hospital or sick at home, Tommy would visit them often, and assist them as he could, even if Tommy himself was sick. Of all his deeds, visiting the sick was probably the least noticeable by others, but most valuable.
He is survived by his son, Glen Thomas Undernehr Jr.; granddaughters Avery, Chloe, Olivia, Sara and Teagan; great-granddaughter Clara; brothers George Undernehr of Bentonville and Ray Undernehr of Rogers; sister Hilda Upton of Rogers; and many nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by both parents; sister Kathy Undernehr; brothers Marvin, Jim and Ralph Undernehr.
A celebration of life service will be 1 p.m. Saturday, June 20, 2020, at Beard’s Funeral Chapel. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the Humane Society. Cremation arrangements by Beard’s Funeral Chapel. Condolences at www.beards funeralchapel.com.
