Tommy was a friend and fellow Vietnam era veteran. I will miss his dry wit and cool mannerism. My condolences to his family.
I agree with John on Tommys Wit and cool mannerisms. I could not have said it better. Tommy could easily enough make you laugh. Wayne loved him like a brother for so many years and will truly miss him. Tommy was Waynes X-brother in law and so some find it weird that Tommy and I liked each other and were friends. Tommy was easy to be friends with. RIP Tommy and I know you have your eyes on us all. Your death has impacted our lives though, just so you know. We will miss you. Vikki Davis
Tommy and I have had alot of good times in the past and I wish I could have been able to visit his wake.
It seems that he found his new way to fly. My prayers to the family. Lil Frank M.
