Tom still had a home on Cow Island, his favorite place to tinker, relax, replace a roof or enjoy a seeing a sunset while listening to the loons. Tom was an avid hiker and a very proud member of the 4000-footer Club and New England's hundred highest. He dreamed of finishing the Appalachian Trail and always said, "My trail name would be Piecemeal."
