Tom was married to his wife, Linda Hull for 57 years, and they had two children together, Greg and Lori. Tom was a proud husband and father, and grandfather and worked hard for several years as a security guard and in other positions before retiring.
Tom was a man of few words, but he loved spending time reading and learning about anything and everything that he could. He could fix anything you set in front of him too. Why buy new when you can just fix it? He loved to work on his cars, he loved to fish and camp at several nearby lakes.
Tom loved his family dearly, but his favorite role was "papa". He was always available to help in any way he could, fix any appliances that stopped working, and went to as many sporting and school events as possible, even if that meant he had to talk to other people. He was always dependable.
Tom fought his second battle with cancer fiercely and always held his head up high, even in times of sadness and uncertainty. Even at his sickest, he made sure to put his family first, his biggest concern was always that his family carried on their lives the way they wanted to.
