Poetic Obituaries: [Michael R. "Snake" Tome] founded both

the Knock Out Factory and the Seneca Nation Boxing Club. He was a NYS Athletic Commission boxing judge, Ohio Athletic Commission judge, Mixed Martial Arts judge, and Association of Boxing Commissioners National Professional judge. He was also a promoter of amateur boxing and Pro-Am mixed martial arts events.

He was an enrolled member of the Deer Clan, and a citizen of the Seneca Nation of Indians. He enjoyed motorcycles, classic cars, his pets, and he was an enthusiast of the performing arts.

In the past he had competed in the demolition derby at the Cattaraugus County Fair; his childhood passion for BMX bikes was a driving force for supporting the Salamanca Skate Park; and he was a phenomenal writer and poet.
