When I met TJ for the first time, at the beginning of my employment at Towers Mall, I thought he was the reincarnation of his brother, whom I had known. He looked & sounded just like him. But his behavior and demeanor weren't anything like his brother's. In fact, TJ was so different from anyone I had ever known. After my first encounter with him, I was in a daze, wondering what had just happened. It was as if an extraterrestrial being had just sprinkled stardust on me thereby chasing all my woes away. Thereafter, every time I saw TJ, he would uplift my spirits in a crazy and unique way. I never saw a down side to TJ. He was always upbeat, outgoing, and ready to lend a hand. Even when he talked about the difficult events in his life, it was with a positive attitude. In that regard, TJ set an example for others of perserverance no matter what life brings us - of focusing on the joys, and most importantly, the love that we show to others.

Tj should have been a millionare..He could have been paid millions by musicians looking for the best lyrics around! One time I drove him to Valley View Mall when he was helping the opening of A Little Bit Hippy while they were there. He sang along with the radio just about the entire time, and in between songs he told jokes and belted out a hearty laugh that you could probably hear from a mile away. He was helpful, friendly, and one of a kind. Even when life got him down, he still managed to laugh his way back to the top. I will miss seeing his face, although I feel like his presence will still be felt in Towers Shopping Center. RIP buddy. Sing those blues in heaven above!

He will be missed. He was always singing with his deep voice, which was quite good.

There was rarely a time that I was at Towers mall that I didn't see TJ. He always had a smile and a kind word or song. He will be sadly missed. Peace and Blessings TJ .

TJ visited my workplace at Towers atleast once a week during my almost 6 years of employment there. He could always bring a smile to anyone's face. You could hear him coming down the hall..knew it was him before he got to the door! He was always courteous and polite, asking the shop keepers what he could do to help them out, frequently taking out the garbage without even letting you know, or helping you bring things to and from your vehicle. Our birthday's were one day apart, and each year that goes by I remember how excited TJ was about getting a new pair of bright blue suede shoes for his bday. He had a sense of style that only TJ himself could manage! He will be greatly missed to say the least. The folks at Towers Shopping Center are losing a bright light among their patrons and friends. Rest in peace, brother TJ.

Maxine,
Our heartfelt prayers are with you at this time. The Management Staff and Maintenance Employees at Towers Shopping Center will remember T.J. for always. He was definitely a character. We could always count on being greeted by Thomas each day during his visit with either a short poem or one of his quickly thought of rhymes each time we came in contact with him. He was a very kind person, a caring person and full of zest. We know that he is at peace.....he has his radio earplugs in place, singing along to the songs that he so often listened to and doing his little walk with the swaggle to it....walking down the sidewalks here at Towers.....his presence is already missed.

His friends know him as "T.J". He was a regular at Towers Mall, and the merchants and friends he had there will always remember him.
T.J. was one of the kindest men I have ever met. He loved music, and had a wonderful voice. Always a smile and a laugh.
T. J. was loved by many. He will be missed very very much.
Safe journey, T.J. We'll never forget you and I was fortunate to have you as my friend.
