Tom grew up in Olney and Cheltenham, PA, and was blessed with many friends and family members. He enjoyed sports in his younger years and as a teenager he developed a love of cars. He worked at his father's business for most of his career where he was known for his charisma and generous personality. He worked alongside his father for almost four decades and was fortunate to have known and worked with many outstanding people who became family over those years. He enjoyed traveling and golf as well as spending time in Ocean City, NJ.
