A

Tom owned
and operated a custom printing company TEC Business Systems in
Retirement
gave Tom more time to enjoy his hobbies and family.
He loved spending time with his grandkids,
taking them fishing, swimming and whitewater rafting.
Tom was an avid golfer, and loved to play
penny ante poker with friends. As a
member of the Barbershop Harmony Society (SPEBSQSA) for more than 40
years, Tom
sang in numerous men’s choruses and quartets.
His singing friends called him the “Tag Man’ because he always
enjoyed
singing the last few measures of song (or tag).
Often he sang these tags with three barbershop buddies until the
wee
hours of the morning.
Tom never
met a stranger. His easy going manner
made him loved and respected by those who knew him.
He always lent a hand to anyone in need and
volunteered in his community. His family
and friends will greatly miss his joyous, fun loving nature.
If you
would like to make a gift in Toms names to his favorite barbershop
charity,
