Tommy, I was just thinking about you and Wes today and looked up your obituary, It's hard to believe it's almost been a decade. Wes has joined you now, I hope you, he, and Cameron are having a blast.

I liked Tom, He had a wonderful sense of humour and am very happy I got to know him and learn from him. My thoughts go to his family. His halloween costume still brings a smile to my face. I will miss my conversations with him.

i only had the privilege of working with tom for a few short months and i must say he made an impact despite that fact. His stories, his witt and easy going humor made specs in galveston a brighter place. there is a reason for every thing and god knows what he's doing even if we don't understand. we will meet again my friend and i'll hear you say "i'm so glad you're here" once again.

I had the pleasure of working with Tom for only a few short months. During that time, I grew to like and appreciate Tom so much. He was always a gentleman and well liked by all of us at the Spec's Galveston location. I will miss him a lot. He was a great guy! My heart goes out to Peggy, his family and friends. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless.

Tom,

You were a great man. One that I am honored to have known. You would help anyone in any way you possibly could. Thank you for all you did for me. All the great advice, the kind offers, and for just being there when I needed someone to talk to. I'll miss you.

Hey Tom-a-llama. Your words will live on through your stories. I know you're sailing away endlessly up there, keeping that straight face and entertaining people with all your sarcastic comments. We will all miss you. I will always be greatful you shared your literary work with me, and hopefully it will be published so that we can always have a piece of you down here with us. I hope Heaven has an endless supply of Chinese food & Catfish for you too :) Mrs Peggy, my prayers go out to you during this tough time. I hope you find peace, and know he is always watching down on you and the rest of us. Miss you Tom-a-llama.
