He was well known for being genuinely kind, hard working, lending anything to anyone and being available to help at a moment’s notice. Tom felt extremely blessed with his family. His daughters were the light of his life and he went above and beyond for his beautiful girls. His strength of character and determination was evident throughout his life. Tom took exceptional pride in his home and in the work he did.
