Danny, Chance, Chase, and Sandy, although I was never around Tommy for a long period of time when I saw him, I could never have been in the presence of a kinder man. He was always so kind and nice to me, putting his hand out to shake mine before I could. We are now less another good man.

Dear Danny and boys,
I had the honor of working with your dad at the county. He always had a smile on his face when he would come into our office. When the twins were born he always spoke of them and you could tell he was a proud Grandpa. The last time Tommy was at the courthouse he still talks about them. He will be missed by all. Take care and God Bless you all.
