\nTom was happiest when he was enjoying a great game of golf. He often spent the winter in Florida where he could enjoy his past time several days a week. Just last year he was proud to make his first hole in one. Other memories he treasured was golfing on the Old Course at St. Andrews in Scotland and attending The Masters Tournament in Augusta. His love of sports also included Notre Dame and Steelers football teams. He was a longtime fan that enthusiastically cheered them on.

He spent all the time he could at the family cabin every summer.<\/p>\n
