Tom loved playing dominoes and pitching horseshoes. He was the coordinator of the horseshoe event at Spring Ho in Lampasas for several years.
His favorite dogs were Skunk, a stray he adopted, and Benjamin Cartwright Moseley. Tom had a nickname for everyone, taking time to think it up and making people feel special that a nickname had been bestowed upon them.
