Tom served in the U.S. Army and was a member of the Westminster VFW and American Legion. Early in his working years he was known as “Mr. Fix-it”. He later enjoyed a career as an IT Software Engineer.

Tom was a happy man, a man of faith, and had a life-long passion for music. He enjoyed singing and playing his many guitars and other instruments in bands and with church worship teams, skiing, biking, and watching sports. He loved to spend time with his family and friends and found fun in everything he did. He often ended sentences with a laugh. He was happy to find that his genealogy goes back to the Duncan families of coastal Maine. He had always been drawn to the ocean and boats, like generations before him.
