In retirement, golfing, became his passion, enjoying his daily golf games with his golfing buddies. He was a lifelong fan of the Pittsburgh Pirates and the Steelers.

    Minnie.I know this is a little late but I just found out that Tom passed away last October. I'm so sorry to know this. Bill thought the world of Tom as I'm sure everyone did. He was a quiet, humble guy. I hope they are playing golf up there in Heaven. Sincerest sympathy to you and your family.
