Tom was a graduate of Lincoln high school, class of 1960, where he was very active in sports. He played football in high school and was a life-long fan of the Dallas Cowboys. For most of his career Tom worked in management, notably, many years with Discount Fabrics and 25 years with Portland Greyhound Bus Lines. He had many hobbies including photography and woodworking but his true passions were fishing and home electronics along with a love of music from Elvis, The Beatles and Frank Sinatra.
