Tom enjoyed every opportunity to meet people and go places, and to spend time with family and friends.  Among his favorite activities were spending time with his grandkids, riding his Harley, and going to car shows to admire and talk about classic cars.  Tom lived a life of service to his church and family, friends and neighbors, and to the community at large whenever and however he could.  His service took many forms, from volunteering to church lector to city planning commissions.  He made friends wherever he went, particularly during the many years the family lived in Hinckley.  He was a past member of St. Patrick’s Parish in Hinckley and a current member of St. Francis Xavier Parish in Sartell.

Tom was a gentleman. He always had a smile. I enjoyed working with him at Trobecs. He will be missed. 😥🙏

I was on the Planning Commission with Tom for many years in Sartell. I’m sorry to read of his passing. Tom was a smart guy and was a pleasure to work with. Prayers to Linda and family.
