Tom graduated from the Rossville High School, in 1966.  He served in the United States Air Force, from 1966-1970.  He later worked for Strapack. for 15 years and worked up to the day before he went in the hospital.   He was a past member of the Rossville United Methodist Church and the Rossville American Legion.  He enjoyed gardening and working in his yard or puttering in the yard as he liked to call it.  Tom also enjoyed mushroom and ginseng hunting.  He enjoyed spending his time with his family and watching sports on TV, especially college sports.
