He met and married his wife Susie in 1989. After living a few years in San Antonio, they bought three acres in Pipe Creek, just 15 miles outside San Antonio and attended the Boerne Ward.
After 26 years with the police department, he was diagnosed with lung cancer. He chose to retire as a Sargent to return to the peace and comfort of the mountains in Star Valley.
Tom spent the last six years as a substitute teacher. He especially liked being with the kids of Thayne Elementary where he was known as Mr. Tom, and with the students at Swift Creek High School. Serving in a range of callings his whole life, his latest calling was as an ordinance worker in the Star Valley Temple.
Tom was great at telling stories, jokes and giving history lessons. He was quick witted, quick with a smile, gentle and humble. He fought cancer for a year when it returned, and he was not ready to go. He died too young at the age of 62.
