Tom gave of himself generously and humbly. A 4th Degree Knight of Columbus, he exemplified the values of faith, charity, and service.

He was known for his warm heart and unforgettable sense of humor. Tom had a unique ability to make others laugh and feel welcome, and his presence brought comfort and joy to those around him. He loved supporting his children through their sports and band activities, being a long time baseball and softball coach. In recent years, he found tremendous happiness in cheering on his six grandchildren in all their endeavors.

Tom was an excellent bowler and softball player, which provided him the opportunity to connect with others and fuel his competitive spirit!

Tom was also a lifelong fan of the Minnesota Twins and rarely missed a game, faithfully following the team through wins and losses with unwavering loyalty.
