I always loved getting and opportunity to talk a little baseball with Tommy and laugh about the years he spent watching us all run around the ballfields at Steele Creek, Kennedy and Olympic. He was a kind heart and was always good for a smile. He will undoubtedly be missed by all that had the pleasure of knowing him.
