Tom's son John ('Bod') was a substitute on the Meath team that captured All-Ireland SFC glory following the replayed final victory over Mayo in 1996. John was also full back on the Royal County minor side that defeated Armagh in the 1992 All-Ireland MFC final and won a SFC medal with O'Mahonys in 1997. 

Another son, Anthony, played with Bective. A native of Clones, Tom was a loyal supporter of Meath and sent many match programmes to John who currently lives in Australia. Tom's son-in-law, Declan McCabe, is the current Summerhill senior football team manager.
