He later married the one and only love of his life Mary Theresa Goebel Joiner on January 13, 1961. They had a wonderful life together making many loving memories. She will keep those memories in her heart and she will cherish them until they are reunited again in heaven. He was a loyal and faithful husband for the 55 years of their marriage and he loved her unconditionally. He was a protective and loving husband. He spent his whole life making sure that she was safe and that she always had everything that she needed.

Tom was a veteran of the Unites States Air Force and served from 1959 until 1963, and received an honorable discharge. He was a true patriot and loved his country. He was a proud and loyal member of the Sons of the Confederacy. He was an avid sport fisherman and loved the rivers and creeks of coastal Ga. Trout Fishing was his favorite and he loved to see that cork go down. He was a lover of animals and took in every stray that ever crossed his path.

The world could use many more men of his character and moral standards and it has lost a great and wonderful man.
