Probably, but I can't help wondering was he a grifter too like his daughter. She seems far worse, but really I'm not sure what Tom's personality was like.

From reading his book I thought he was a nice man but was a bit of a pushover/people pleaser. He stayed in an unhappy marriage for years. His 2nd wife told him she wanted a lie-in every morning so he had to get up and look after the kids while she stayed in bed. There was another part about his 100th birthday party and he'd only wanted a small gathering with close friends and family but his daughters went OTT and invited loads of people and hired a singer, etc. Of course it ended up getting cancelled because of lockdown.
I got the feeling he was pushed into Barbados too, don't think it was his bucket list, it was Hannah's... he probably wanted to make his family happy so went along with it.

Interesting. Did he say much about his war experience, what he witnessed?
