Tom loved spending his time on the golf course and playing cards. He loved watching all sports and possibly making a bet or two or three, etc. Everyone would agree, if Fitz was present you were having the time of your life. Tom's motto in life was "Forget yesterday, don't plan on tomorrow and have fun today!" Mr. Perfect, as he called himself, is now blessing the angels with his presence and how lucky they are! Tom was always proud to discuss his Irish heritage. "Mm"
