He also loved living peacefully on the Blue Ridge Mountains in Bluemont, Virginia. He loved the outdoors, hunting, fishing, picking morel mushrooms and spending time on the Shenandoah river floating and canoeing with his friends and family. Tom loved his family and looked forward to making memories during their annual beach trips.

Tom is survived by his wife, Shirley, their son Will his wife Kim, two grandchildren, Julia and Nicholas, and his sister, Suzie.
