Tom cherished many memories camping and loved a good day of fishing. He loved to cook with his best friends at his feet. Tom enjoyed watching football, especially the New England Patriots and Denver Broncos. He loved good music and a nice dip in the pool.
Tom was an avid motorcyclist and he was most free and at peace gripping the handlebars of his Harley Davidson cruising down the road.
Tom's children were his pride and joy and he never hesitated to express how much he loved them.

Tom was a great friend who I had the pleasure of working with for many years. We rode together, shared "Many" stories about who was the better fisherman and most of all, enjoyed his friendship. A really good man that I had the pleasure of knowing. Rest easy young fella, leave a few trout for me!!

To Robyn, Matt, Lorraine, Carmen and all the Zwicker’s and grandchildren,
I am so so sorry for the loss of Tom and it breaks my heart to hear this sad news. Tom was a good man and he was a good father. He was also a good husband and we had so so many good memories and had a lot of fun especially camping in New Hampshire, fishing in New York on Lake Ontario, riding our Harley all over the place. I remember the first time he picked me up on his Harley. I had high heels on and he told me I had to where a helmet and goggles and I said no way. Lol so I agreed to the helmet and by the time we got to the restaurant in Spencer, I had bugs hitting me in the forehead and my whole face was full of dirt and my makeup was all running down my face so I listened to him the next time. Lol. I could go on and on because we were together for almost 20 years and between us we had his two sons and daughter and we had my daughter and we had a lot of fun as a family.
My thoughts and prayers go out to all of you and my heart is there with you all as well. May you find peace and comfort through all the good memories.
I love you all!
Love Patty
