Tom worked for the Massachusetts Department of Public Works for 43 years. Tom also served in the Air Force as a jet plane mechanic in France. He was a member of the Eastham Fire Department and belonged to the Nauset Rod and Gun Club.

Tom spent as much time as possible in the outdoors as he loved the sports of fishing, hunting, clamming, and motorcycling. He owned a cabin in West Milan, NH where he enjoyed his time in the woods. He and Abbie also owned a fishing boat, The Abigail, on which they spent many enjoyable hours out on the waters of Cape Cod. His cat, Tony, misses his master greatly.
