Upon returning to the US, he worked as a Foreman for the Manhattan and Bronx Transit Authority and for many years was a volunteer fireman for the Holbrook Fire Department on Long Island, NY.

Anyone who knew Tom knows how deeply he cared for animals.

Tom cherished his family and honored those he loved with tattoos on his arms: the names of his 2 daughters and 4 grandchildren as well as pictures of his beloved dogs: Tasha, Remington, and Jackson. He was an avid reader, cinema enthusiast and active bowler. One of the greatest highlights of his life was bowling a 300.
