Tom was a die-hard Philadelphia sports fan and enjoyed going to games with his family! He loved everything about Philadelphia! He often walked the streets of Philadelphia taking pictures and wanting change for such a beautiful city. When it snowed, he would gather everyone together to drive through the city to look at the art and architecture that reflected God's beauty.

He enjoyed taking vacations to Wildwood and Florida with his family. He loved watching the Penns Landing and Philadelphia Phillies fireworks.
