His passion for painting and wallpapering continued beyond his retirement years. Toms desire for learning never diminished. This lead to many a fun and interesting conversation.

He was a creative and talented gardener; his rose bushes and flowers brought delight to many eyes. He was a huge lover of animals, especially dogs! They just knew he was a good guy and an easy mark for a snack.
