Tom enjoyed photography, especially taking pictures of flowers and old barns. He enjoyed trail riding with his jeep, taking long drives discovering what was around every corner, golfing with his friends in Arizona, attending reunions with his Army buddies, traveling with his wife Deloris, especially returning to Germany where he spent most of his career in the Army, but most of all he loved being with his family and friends just enjoying life. Tom had an infectious smile that would light up the room where ever he was. He was a friend to anyone he met. He will be greatly missed by his family and everyone whom ever knew him.
