For the last 30 years, Maine has been his home, where he has enjoyed horses, dogs, and cats. He shared a special connection with animals and preferred their company over people!
Tom worked in a variety of stores, antiques shops, including Tom’s Discount Foods at the Airport Plaza in Sanford. Towards the end of his working career, he was a service manager for 13 years with Suburban Propane.

Tom was blessed to have his good friends Bonnie and Daniel Boisvert, who provided companionship, assistance and a dose of good humor when needed.
