Biography[]
Background[]
In 1968, Tom was the sixth member to join the Sons of Anarchy Motorcycle Club. He was introduced to the club by Walter "Wally" Grazer. Wally, having ties to the 'seedier' side of life, knew of Tom and his reputation and felt he would be a valuable asset to the club. Both Tom and Wally had been drifters, living in and around the area and both found the brotherhood of the club enough to make them stay in Charming, California. He was arrested and sent to prison where he was murdered in 1995 by other inmates who stabbed him to death.
