Thomas was a member of the DAV of Massachusetts and the American Legion Post in Natick. His love for tall ships inspired his hobby of ship modeling. He especially enjoyed having cookouts in his backyard and playing horseshoes which was a staple at every cookout. He was reigning champion of horseshoes up until a few years ago when he became unable to play anymore. He was always doing something with his hands, whether it was doing jigsaw puzzles, crossword puzzles, making ship models, tinkering in his basement, or making his own gadgets. He had been nicknamed "The Real Life Mac Guyver". He was an avid Patriots fan, always enjoying and watching them play. Family was everything to him. He was so proud that he could say he had 5 generations to carry on his legacy. His door was always open to anyone. If you met him you instantly became part of the family and a magical bond was formed.
