He was a member of First Presbyterian Church of Canadian, where he was instrumental in building the original church. Along with his brothers, he helped found the Edward Abraham Memorial Home.

However, Tom was known mostly for his many kindnesses to others, which were described in the 1992 Amarillo Globe-News column, "Santa Claus is alive and giving in Canadian."
