Personal note from Tom's Family

Thank you to everyone for your support during this difficult time. We would love for you to post your favorite photos and/or stories about Tom on the memories tab of this memorial website.

Tom loved riding motorcycles and taking pictures. He would talk about his plans for going into the mountains and taking long exposures of the night sky to see the Milky Way. He would ride his motorcycles up and down the mountains enjoying the scenery
