Tom held Regional Account Executive positions including Penton Publishing Company's Machine Design division relocating to Hudson, Ohio where he raised his children.

A funny, hardworking and kind soul. Tom had many interests including skiing, swing dancing, swimming, golf, tennis, pool, music and gardening. He was very active as a Scout Master with Boy Scouts of America during his son's childhood. His uncanny, clever sense of humor and love for his grandmother's "Melanzana" could not go unnoticed. He was great at creating memories for all that knew him and will live in our hearts forever.

A Celebration of Life will be held in Columbus, Ohio with date and location to be announced.
