Thomas had a deep love for life's simple pleasures. In his younger days, he was an avid baseball player, known for his competitive spirit and love for the game. As the years passed, he found peace and joy in fishing-often spending early mornings by the water, enjoying the quiet and the chance to connect with nature.
Family was at the center of everything he did. Whether it was weekend gatherings, holidays, or just everyday moments, he treasured every opportunity to spend time with those he loved most. He also had a fondness for driving, whether it was long scenic routes or just a quiet ride to clear his mind.
