Goodbye to one of the best friends of my lifetime. As I recall the past forty plus years, the many great times but also a few rough spots; either way you were always there for support. Bettye joins me in saying thank you for being our friend.

Goodbye old cousin, old friend, I missed seeing you all of these last several years, and will miss you more than ever now that you are gone.
We had a lot of good times together back when we shared an apartment back in the 60's. Going to the UT football games, hunting, searching for arrow heads around the Central Texas area. We put a lot of cerveza away during our time, but we had fun doing it. I remember all of the great New Year's eve parties at Grace and Rudy's, and we always had a great time there.
You were a good cousin and a good friend and I will miss you.

Love, Tommy
