I had the pleasure of meeting Tommie while working at UPS in the old Petersburg center. He was always a delight to talk with and you could always except some laughter. About a year ago at my Vet's office; the girls mentioned Tommie, their past UPS driver, and how much they enjoyed his continued visits even after he retired. You will never know the lives he touched with just being Tommie. God bless you as you grieve for your loved one.
