Tom was an active man who loved to play tennis and golf as well as watch sports, especially his beloved Wildcats. He was a handy man, known for fixing the unfixable and re-purposing what most would regard as trash. He’ll be lovingly remembered as a good listener who was kind and who greeted everyone with a smile. He always made room for dessert.
