Tommy was my older brother and I will miss him so much. I will always lovingly remember all our last visits with one another. Take care of Daddy and Bonnie when you meet them in Heaven. Wish it wasn't so soon. Love always, Penny.

Tommy was a very positive individual with a good outlook on life. He was comfortable in his own skin, and that confidence was noticeable to all those he knew. Tommy had a knack for drawing you into whatever he had a passion for and before you knew it, you were hooked. Tom was an extremely intelligent and well read on many topics. I shall miss my friend very much. We shared many days solving the worlds problems. My sincere condolences to his wife and family, I am praying for your peace and comfort during this difficult time.

Tommy was a one-of-a-kind type of guy. It was a privileged to work with him and to get to know him. He was a calm and peaceful co-worker who made every interaction a pleasant one. I loved his enthusiasm for bicycling and even went out and got my own bicycle at his urging. He loved his family and always spoke highly of his wife and children. My prayers are for them during this time of loss.
