Tom took great joy in working with the Boy Scouts and was Assistant Scoutmaster for Troop 12 in Cumberland for many years and was Camp Master for the Yawgoo Scout Reservation for 15 years.

Tom loved playing golf and going fishing, but hunting was his favorite interest and he looked forward every year for the start of the season.  He often traveled with his hunting buddies hoping to return home and fill the freezer. Tom's greatest pleasure was traveling with his wife.  They took many cruises and traveled to many parts of the country. They were snowbirds for years, traveling from their RI home to their home in Dunedin, Fl where they settled in a wonderful little community where Tom was very active until his illness 6 months ago.
