Later in life, Tom used his life skills and knowledge to volunteer his time with the American Diabetes Association, speaking at Na-tional Conferences and working with local events associated with Diabetes Education. Tom would have loved to see a cure for juvenile onset diabetes in his lifetime. He also volunteered his expertise teaching gun safety classes for children and adults in his spare time. As an out-doorsman and co-founder of “Shoot & Release Ringnecks”, he split his time between pheasant and duck hunting, and his passion for golf and delighting friends and family with his expert cook-ing skills over an outdoor grill. He carried a positive attitude and a warm personality throughout his life, and for this he will be missed by so many.
