Tom graduated from St. Charles High School in 1953, where he enjoyed playing baseball. His love of sports continued throughout his entire life, and he spent many hours cheering on his beloved Notre Dame and Steeler's football teams. Tom was a very devoted Catholic man and found solace in the Lord. Tom loved the opportunity to be a caregiver to all of the children that he and his wife watched throughout the years, and he was a very proud Pappy to his grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
