He served as Assistant Regional Director and A Team member for the All-American Soap Box Derby. Tom was a passionate supporter of causes for children, especially those with special needs.
Most recently, Tom resided in Wildwood, Florida, with his best friend and soulmate, Barb, with whom he shared 42 loving and adventurous years together. Tom saw his home in Wildwood as his own piece of paradise, where he enjoyed playing golf, socializing with neighbors as he walked his beloved dog, Star, and working part-time as a security guard for his retirement community.
