Raising a growing family in Crown Point, Indiana, Thomas enjoyed taking his family, Marie, Kathy, Jeanne, Laura, Nancy and Tom on vacation, camping, and road trips. Some of his favorite times were going down Route 66 to the western United States to visit friends and family with his car full of kids. He was an avid fisherman, at one point catching a striper bass weighing over 25 pounds. After his family was grown, he continued to travel around the United States with children and grandchildren, going to many of the National Parks from Maine to California. He loved spending long visits with his brother and sister-in-law, Steve and Cherie and their children in New Mexico. He had a passion for raising yorkie puppies.
