Tom proudly served his country as a veteran of the U.S. Army. He was a skilled carpenter and valued member of Local 430 of the Carpenters Union. Tom spent the majority of his life working on job sites throughout the greater Pittsburgh area. One notable job was laying the astroturf for the original Three Rivers Stadium, an assignment he valued being an avid Pittsburgh Steelers fan.
