Tom was very passionate about his Catholic religion and the spiritual ways of the Lakota Culture. He was an avid wood worker with much pride in his finished projects and loved sharing on Facebook. Tom was persistent in his projects, if he had any questions on how to get the job done he referred to You tube.  Some of his most treasured moments were spending time with his family and friends and being outdoors.
