He previously spent many long hours at the family-owned Fritz's Farmers Market, where he met his wife, Tracy, to whom he was married for 35 years. Tom enjoyed bowling, golfing, and hunting with his Compadres at Indiana Bear Club. As a West Virginia University graduate, he was a huge fan of the Mountaineers and loved to tailgate at football games. He loved the outdoors and was involved with the Cambria County Recreation Authority. He also enjoyed his Corvette, good food, good laughs, and a good beer.
