He especially enjoyed playing regularly at Stony Ford Golf Club with his buddies George Buermeyer and Sean McDonald. More importantly, he shared his passion with his son Brad, who will continue to pursue his love of the game.
Our hearts are broken. Tom never met a stranger and was loved by all. He had a larger than life personality and loved being with his family and friends. Everyone was welcome in their happy home.
