For the last 30 years, Tom enjoyed operating auctions and estate sales and lastly he owned and operated, Saginaw River Trading Company. Tom met the love of his life, Patricia Ann McMullen and they were married on February 23, 1974. Together they spent 45 years enjoying trips to the casino and playing the slot machines. Tom’s daily routine would include a walk at Ojibway Island and feeding the wildlife including the eagles, squirrels, geese and many different birds.
