My sincere condolences to all on Tommy's passing. Tommy attended many music practice sessions at our house in Dayton View circa 1970. Our band backed up Tommy Henderson and the Young Mods for his "Gloria" and "You brought the Sunshine" recording. I remember him as a top notch entertainer and songwriter. He also had a very warm and friendly personality. He will be missed by many.

My heart is broken. I met Tommy in 2006. We were neighbors in same Apartment building.
Tommy to many was was a fun person to be around. He was giving and caring.
He was honest to a fault.
He loved his music and would burst out singing.
He and I shared stories of our experiences during Vietnam.
I will miss Tommy or as I affectionately called him "Tomny Burger".
Rest in Heaven dear friend. I will miss you.
