It was the 80s, and we had a wonderful hair dresser in Alvin, Greg Lay. He took care of our family for many years before he left us too soon. A Houston friend in 1992 referred us to Tommy. It would then be about five years of fabulous visits with Tommy before our conversations would lead us to learn that Greg had been Tommy's cousin. What a small world in such a big city. Tommy always made us laugh, and each visit was filled with a golf tale and an update on his son and daughter and a countdown to his next trip to Florida. Tommy, Sr., please accept our sincere condolences. It is so difficult to believe he is gone.

We send our deepest sympathy to Tommy's family. We were his neighbors in Oakland Park Florida and his son is one of our daughter's best friends. All of the family will be in our prayers.

My deepest sympathy to Tommy's children and parents. It is always difficult being left to wonder about all of the "what ifs" in times such as this. Try to remember that he is in God's hands now and he loved you as much as you loved him. He is your guardian angel now. He will be missed by myself and many others, but will be fondly remembered and thought of.

I'm so sorry to hear that Tommy's gone. I was one of his clients for many years. He always had a smile on his face and a joke to share. He will be greatly missed. I'm sorry that his time here on earth was cut short but now he flies with the angels.

To the family of Tommy, my family and I would like to express our sincerest condolences to you all. Tommy was my family's hairstylist up until we moved to Australia. He was a gifted artist and a friend and we will miss him. Personally, I will miss his wicked sense of humor, his smile, and I will miss hearing in his voice, the absolute pride he had when he talked about his beautiful children. They were a shining light in his heart. Tommy, I will miss you!
