He was a loving husband, father and “Gramps” who truly had a heart of gold. Loving, patient, kind, hard-working and selfless are just a few words to describe Tom. He loved animals, especially his Boxer, Mollie who passed away this past winter. He loved history, museums and tinkering with just about anything mechanical. He and Kathy were married for 50 years.
