Tom worked as a tow motor operator for Burnham Boilers for 34 years until his retirement.

A huge sports fan, he followed McCaskey High School football, Penn State football and was a diehard Philadelphia Eagle enthusiast. He enjoyed playing the PA Lottery. Tom found the greatest satisfaction in life when he spent time with his family and cheering on his grandchildren in their sports endeavors. Another of Tom's passions was fishing.

The family would like to thank everyone at Landis Adult Care Services where Tom made many friends and got to enjoy swimming, going on field trips, and sharing meals together.
