After his wife's death Tom, with help from his son, authored a third cookbook, Cooking Together Revisited, which is dedicated to Joyce with the proceeds going to the families of Breast Cancer Support Projects.

In addition to cooking and writing, Tom enjoys playing golf and listening to all kinds of music. He takes great pleasure in cooking with the family and cooking for friends. Asked about the future he answered, "At 82 years old you are not really sure how much time you have left, but I hope the family and I can keep working on Cooking Together Generations and expand our Breast Cancer Support Projects. I also would like to do some more cookbooks and books like this, but that is all in God's hands."
