Tom had worked for Pamida, Trade and Transactions, and Jone’s Insurance in York and owned and operated Smitty’s in McCool. He was a member of St. Patrick’s Catholic Church in McCool. He enjoyed camping, fishing, and playing cards. He was a member of the Eagle’s Club, Elks Club, and had been a former chairman for Yorkfest. Tom had no problem striking up a conversation, as he never met a stranger. Most of all, he loved his family and spending time with them.
