My first cousin, Thomas had a variety of careers, and found the one he loved later in life, as a teacher of the Bible and a pastor. The obituary says little about his various careers other than pastoring. Earlier, he managed a Putt-Putt Golf Course on Long Island for some years, even going on the professional putting circuit. For a time he was an artist in oils, mainly abstracts. He was also, in his time, a fine athlete, with a tryout [based on his high school play] with the Columbus Jets triple A professional baseball team. I remember seeing a scrapbook with a story about a high school basketball game: "Tom Rohm bombs for 31" and there were numerous articles about his exploits on the court. The first time he played golf he shot 84 as I recall, whereas 95% of the golfers in America have never shot 84.
Courtney and I send our condolences to Merry and the rest of the family.
