Tommy worked as a warehouseman for Johnson & Johnson before his retirement. After retiring he loved to watch westerns, especially Roy Rogers, and game shows. Tommy loved sampling his wife's cooking and was known to make his own batch of chili on occasion. He was a relaxed soul who loved his coffee and enjoyed whistling his favorite tunes every morning.
