Good Samaritans are wonderful people but they’re usually too busy doing good deeds to have many hours left for anything else. Tom Pillar is an exception.
Since coming to the county in 1948, he’s shared his talents, skills and time with the Rappahannock Library, his church and his neighbors in Jenkins Hollow (nicknamed Still Hollow by one of its residents for two reasons, one because it’s so quiet and the other...).
He also learned to be stone mason, carpenter and landscaper as with no construction experience to speak of, he built most of the home that’s nestled back against Jenkins Mountain.
He took up a second career as a real estate broker and along the way, amassed a collection of Indian arrowheads that rivals the displays in many museums.
A native of Edinburgh, Scotland, Tom moved to Rappahannock from Norfolk with his wife Ruth following his retirement from 30 years in banking.
