Thomas was a very kind, loving, tender hearted man with a good sense of humor. Thomas loved his family and his dog Coco. We always enjoyed his visits. Tommy will be missed by myself and my husband who is Tommys brother Bill Hawkins.. Thomas and Bill loved football and were NC State fans, they always communicated during games.
