"
Thomas Johnston Dimmock, former governor of the Carolinas District of the Kiwanis Club, active member of Trinity Baptist Church, lawyer, husband, father and friend, died suddenly on January 21. He was 65...Tom believed he was blessed and felt called to give back, helping to found the Kiwanis Club of Wake Forest some 30 years ago. A charter member and president, he led his fellow Kiwanians in countless projects to meet the Kiwanis mission of "improving the world, one child and one community at a time." Tom went on to serve as both governor and lieutenant governor of the Carolinas District, which covers both North and South Carolina and includes some 180 Kiwanis clubs and 6,000 members, many of which Tom help start or recruit. He was then elected a trustee of Kiwanis International, where he worked for three years. In 2012, he won the Carolinas District's first-ever Lifetime Achievement Award. At the time of his death, he was serving as Carolinas District parliamentarian and as co-chair of the Project Eliminate campaign, having raised more than $3 million to eradicate maternal and child tetanus.

He was also a member of the board of directors and parliamentarian for the North Carolina State Convention and lawyer for the North Carolina Baptist Foundation. He was an Eagle Scout and served his country in the U.S. Army Reserve..."
