His children remember him as a kind, gentle, patient, loving father who led the family with his love for the Lord.

Tom was passionate about traveling the world with his wife. They traveled to several different countries, with Mars Hill in Athens Greece being his favorite.  Mars Hill is where the Apostle Paul delivered a speech about the one true God.
