Tommy loved his time with his family and friends. Whether it was a road trip in his old Hot Rod, a day trip with his friends and family, or vacations to every corner of the world with his lovely wife, Alice by his side, that is when he was the happiest. The only thing better was anytime spent with his Granddaughter, Hannah, the true apple of his eye, his Sunshine in life. Always quick with a joke or a funny story he could light up any room. He never knew a stranger and had an unbelievable network of great friends.
