Tom enjoyed all types of hunting but especially deer and squirrels. He also was known to “hunt” moles. He had great patience in watching for any signs of mole activity on the ground and this was a source for family jokes. Tom also enjoyed fishing and any type of outdoor activity. He could spend the entire day outside just “piddling”. Memorials may be made to Tom’s family to help defray medical expenses.
