Tom was born in Texas, moved to California at an early age. He lived in Glendale until he moved to Huntington Beach in 1964.

He was a true pilot. He loved flying and golf. He played as often as he could and from what everyone told Pat he was a scratch golfer. He was also very pleased when he bought the Piper J-3 Cub.

Tom died at the early age of 54. He is survived by his wife Pat, who states that Tom was the "love of my life...and still is"  He is truly missed.
