Tom graduated from Suitland High School in Prince George's County, MD in 1968. After graduation, Tom served in the Air Force Reserves. He spent his working years in the business machines industry as a Service Manager, where he earned a reputation as one of the best in the business.

He is survived by his daughters, Katherine Shell and her spouse Jeanna, and Kimberly Knouse and her husband Michael; brother, Michael Shell and his wife Diane; grandchildren, Kelcey, Brycen, and Caleb; niece, Rebecca Page; nephew, David Shell; and many treasured friends across the country too numerous to list but not forgotten.
