He married his love, Karen L. Snyder, on November 25, 1961, and together they had two children.

Tom retired from General Motors, Experimental Assembly. He was the family’s expert “ Mr. Fix it” and enjoyed doing things for his family. He was an avid reader of history and loved the outdoors. He enjoyed fishing and hunting and was very knowledgeable about all of God’s creation.
