He was born on April 15, 1927, in Oakwood, Oklahoma, to Gus and Millie Lovelace, and grew up there. When he was 16, he moved to California.

He married the love of his life Bennie L. "Bee" (Wooley) Lovelace in El Monte, California, on November 30, 1951. Tom and Bennie had two children together - Bryan who was born in 1953, and Denise who was born in 1955.
