Tommy was a good friend and former close neighbor. I never saw him without a smile on his face. When he and Norma moved to the Woodlands, I missed seeing him. We fished together, and visited regularly. Julia and I will miss him greatly. He will be forever in my memory.

They don't make 'em like Tommy Ault anymore, a member of that hardworking, wise,selfless generation. With his passing our world became a little poorer, for he was truly a unique gem of a human being. It was an honor to know him.
