Being from a military family, Tom and his siblings followed their father’s postings in several different states and attended various schools. After secondary school, he briefly attended an engineering college in Minnesota before enlisting with the Airforce. It’s of this time serving his country during the Vietnam War, Tom was most proud.
Tom spent a total of 32 years working for the government, 21 years as a U.S. diplomat, and during his free time, enjoyed hunting, fishing and golf. Let’s not forget his culinary expertise. Tom always knew the best restaurant or pub around the world to experience for any type of cuisine. He loved entertaining with a good story about his travels and would enjoy a solid political debate. He was an avid reader and history buff, especially about wars.
He will be sorely missed by his family, friends and brothers-in-arms.
