Tari, Tami and the entire Boyko family,



I just heard of Tommy (Boyks) passing today and I am sorry that I did not hear sooner so I could pay my respects with your family and Tommy's friends. Last year was rough in the passing of Erica, Greg before that, and now Tommy. Many years have passed and there have been many changes in all of our lives, but memories cannot be replaced of carefree good times that we all shared. I pray that your family is strengthened through all of this and that Tommy is somewhere doing what he loves in peace.

My prayers and sympathy to your family.

Boyks,

This is one of the hardest things I have ever had to write! I keep thinking back to our first NASCAR race together! I'll never forget that day when Buc dropped me off at Davidson's and when I saw you were going I just wanted to turn around and go home because I was so scared of you, but Buc made me get on that bus and go to the race! I came back that weekend and all I could talk about is me and you and the fun and laughter we had! That was the beginning of a great friendship! One I will cherish forever! I am so going to miss walking in anywhere you were and hearing "Earnhardt" yelled out! I am so glad I got to be with you Friday night! Your loud and obnoxiuos ways is something no one is ever going to replace! You were truely one of a kind and truely on of MY BEST FRIENDS!! Your ability to always make me laugh can never be done by anyone again the way you could! Mr. and Mrs. Boyko, Tari, and Tami your thoughts have been with me continuously! Cindi, I want you to know Tommy truely loved you more than you could ever imagine! Thank you to all of you for sharing Tommy with me! You all gave me a gift no one will ever be able to take from me!! The memories will never be forgotten! I can only imagine the trouble Greg and Tommy are causing once again together in Heaven!! I will love you Tommy for ever!! And when my time comes for me to be called up, Tommy, you better be waiting for me at those gates and as I enter I want you to be waiting right there and I want to hear you once again yell "Earnhardt" the moment I come in!!! I will miss you so much!! You will never be forgotten!!
