Tom served his five- year apprentice training while a member of Local 270 in Fords. He attended the Instructor Training Program at Purdue University in Indiana. He attended the George Meany School of Studies in MD and the Rutgers Labor School of Studies in New Brunswick. He was a former coach of the Fords- Clara Barton Baseball League for many years and a member of the Metuchen Elks. His favorite enjoyment was bowling at the Edison Lanes with his colleagues.
