Tom worked as a car salesman for most of his career, and as a sales representative for Justice Brothers. Tom had a real passion for all things music. He really shined when he was helping others celebrate with his DJ and Karaoke services or playing the drums in his band. Tom enjoyed being outdoors, whether it was on a boat, motorcycle, fishing, hunting, or golfing. Most of all, Tom enjoyed sharing laughs and making memories with his family and friends. Tom was a man that made everyone feel welcome in his presence and like you had known him for years, he had never met a stranger. He will be greatly missed by all that knew him.
