Tom was born, raised and lived in St. Louis, MO until 1 ½ years ago when he and Leslie moved to The Woodlands, TX to be closer to their children and grandchildren. He was a member of Sts. Simon and Jude Catholic Church in The Woodlands, TX. Tom had a passion for photography since he got his first camera at the age of 13. Tom had many award winning photographs, was president of The Woodlands Photography Club and a valued member of several other photography clubs and groups. Tom had an extraordinary eye for the beauty surrounding him and generously shared that through his photography. Some of his most beautiful work were his portraits of his grandchildren, to whom he was a loving grandpa, caregiver and playmate.
Tom was also an athlete, especially in his younger years. He was a competitive raquetball player, runner and a cyclist when he was younger and continued cycling long into his later years. He also loved watching sports - especially the Tour de France, tennis and football. He loved nature and animals and was most at home taking pictures of eagles in Illinois and Missouri or at the zoo in St. Louis.
Thomas was devoted to his family and friends, always willing to go out of his way to help someone. He had a wonderful sense of humor and ready smile and will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
