One of the great joys in his life was service as Scoutmaster to Boy Scout Troop 186, where he had the opportunity to mentor and encourage young scouts. During the 1990’s, he enthusiastically accompanied three expeditions of scouts to Philmont Scout Ranch, located in New Mexico. He also served on the Boy Scouts Blue Grass Council, Lexington, as well as on the Heart of Virginia Council, Richmond, Virginia. He received the Scoutmaster Award of Merit and was awarded the Silver Beaver Award for his distinguished service. After retirement, Tom began service to his fellow veterans as a volunteer at the Veterans Administration facility in Richmond. His service continued at the VA in Lexington. He is grateful for the brief time he spent as a resident of Thomson-Hood Veterans Facility, Wilmore, Ky, and the kind and compassionate way in which he was welcomed.
