Tom loved his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

 

He was one of the BEST people in the world to know, Tom always had the best words of encouragement and such an infectious smile. He loved anybody and loved talking and just listening. He had such a huge personality and could put a smile on anyone’s face. He was such a loving husband, dad, Poppy and friend to so many. 

 

Some of his best hobbies were racing, football (OU FOOTBALL) “BOOMER!”, he loved horse racing, fishing and any sport you named he knew it ALL. 

 

Tom was ONE IN A MILLION. If you ever need that one person to talk to, he was the one that would be there. He was the example of how everyone should love, forgive and one will never ever forget.
