Tom graduated from Memorial High School in 1960 and attended Capital University for 2 years. He was a member of Trinity Lutheran Church of Moulton. He was an avid sportsman and enjoyed trap shooting, hunting, and fishing locally at Indiana Lake as well as occasional trips to Lake Erie. He also enjoyed his feline friend "Fancy."
He had a beautiful tenor voice and sang in various church choirs and for numerous weddings over the years. He enjoyed contemporary Christian music as well as the traditional hymns.
Tom and his friend and business partner, Calvin Caywood, took over "Logan Furniture" after Tom's father's death. They ran it for 30 years, and they appreciated the customer base they had in the community. Tom frequently commented how good the business in St. Marys was to them. Upon retirement, he missed talking to the customers.
Tom was fortunate to be able to travel and enjoyed trips to Israel, Egypt, the Canadian Rockies, Hawaii, Alaska, and many other states in the US. He enjoyed watching sports on TV: especially the Cleveland Cavaliers and Browns as well as the Cincinnati Reds and Bengals. He often channel surfed to find other sports teams that might be playing. He enjoyed mowing grass, taking care of his lawn, and tending the fire in the woodstove for the fall and winter season.
