Tom was a life-long NY Yankees and NY Giants fan. He participated in many sports over the years including, softball, cycling, and working out to stay fit. Above all, he was passionate about playing, watching, and talking about golf. His love for the game was one of the prime motivators in making the move to Coastal North Carolina in 2013. Along with picking up pine cones in the yard, feeding the birds & squirrels, he enjoyed just sitting peacefully on his patio, listening to his favorite music and looking out at the view of the sunsets and Azalea #2.
He is survived by his wife of 43 years, Betty Ann (Mancuso) Wilmott, family, and many great friends.
