In 2012, he moved to Bradenton and made Florida his home. Tom was a man of faith and compassion and was always willing to lend a hand to someone in need. He is lovingly remembered by his surviving sisters, Dawn (Roger) Kenneavy of Houston, Texas, and Mary Anne (Kenneth) Urlakis of Colgate, Wisconsin.
