My condolences to Martha and all the extended family. I knew Tommy from first grade through High School. He was a very studious boy. Cora Belle and Ralph did a great job raising a wonderful man.

What a wonderful soul this man had. I worked at the Food Lion at Ketner Center and I can tell you there was never a moment when that walked past you , that he didn’t speak to you. Our Lord has definitely gained an Angel. May he Rest In Peace . Sending love and prayers to all the family members. ❤
