Tom was a remarkable leader; a quiet person with a dry sense of humor he shared with those around him. Outside of his work, Tom was an athlete who enjoyed the outdoors, in particular skiing, cycling, hiking and motorcycles. He participated in bicycle and iron man triathlon competitions.

Tom is survived by two daughters, Jill and Anne, his wife Erin and his former wife Jane. A private service for the family has been held.
