The couple moved to Iowa in November of 1962, and later made their home in Eldora, where they welcomed four children into their family. Tom worked for Fisher Controls in Marshalltown, Iowa, as a Turret Lathe Operator and retired in 2001. He also helped his uncle Don, for a few years, at his company Mathews Construction. Tom was a member of St. Paul Lutheran Church in Eldora, where he served the church as an usher. He liked to do carpentry work and really enjoyed helping his son-in-law Bryan on the farm.
