He met his love on Holy Saturday in England in 1995 and in 1997 Geraldine and Thomas were wed. He loved to travel with vacations in Ireland and Hawaii being his two favorites, but he also loved a nice simple camping trip and times spent around the fire where his hearty laugh, recognized by all, would often ring out. Tom was also a member of St. Paul of Tarsus Knights of Columbus Council #11689, a past B.S.A. Troop Leader and a life long dog lover.

From the annual "Bro-cations" he enjoyed with his brothers and the pride he felt in his sons to the deep love and devotion he felt for both his wife and his parents anyone who knew him knew his family was his world and he, in turn theirs and how deeply he will be missed.
