Tom was a devout and faithful Catholic his entire life, passing the tradition on to his children. He was a member of American Legion Post #439. Tom was an avid sports fan and enjoyed watching his grandchildren participate in sports over the years. Tom also enjoyed playing cards and golfing. Above all, Tom loved and cherished his family; especially vacationing with his family every year for the past 20 years and never missing the every Sunday family barbecues.
