Tom lived for his family. He cared deeply for nature and astronomy. He made friends wherever he went, and with whoever he met. Like his father, he was a jack of all trades; he never encountered a computer problem he couldn’t fix. He found joy in being on the open road for work, but there was no joy greater than his love for being home with his family. Most recently, he found strength in God.
