He graduated from the University of New York in Albany, NY. Tom developed a career as a very successful accountant; something he thoroughly enjoyed. After his initial marriage to Margaret Bartold, Tom met Tim Mickelson in 2002, and they married on November 30, 2013, in Afton, MN. Tom and Tim lived happily in Affton, MO for the rest of his life. As avid theatre buffs, Tom and Tim enjoyed many performances at The Fabulous Fox.

Family was incredibly important to Tom. He adored spending time with his three grandchildren, his many nieces and nephews, and many friends whom he treated as family. Those who loved Tom, will remember his gentle touch, warm crooked smile, and spunky sense of humor.
