Tom was a simple man, who loved his family fiercely, including the countless lifelong friendships he cherished so deeply. He adored his three boys and was so very proud of the outstanding Men they are today.

He loved God, ATV's, Every single moment he spent outdoors. He loved a cold a Busch light, open fire, music & mushroom hunting with his two buddies, Keith and little Thomas. Tom loved antiques and the stories behind them. He lived for this simple life and was loved by anyone who knew him… if you didn't, he didn't care. He was as quick to forgive as he was to make you laugh.

He understood life far beyond his years. He gave life lessons, even when he didn't realize It.. as many would say, he was full of the most useful useless information… Anyone that has talked to Tom, has walked away knowing something they didn't before.
