Not sure what to say?

Tommy, I´ll never forget your splendid petrified wood house and grounds. Your dad gave me a piece of petrified wood which I have till this day. I am so impressed what a great man you grew into, like Tom. God bless you now and for all time.

Tommy was truly the smartest man I ever knew. In the seventeen years we knew each other he would constantly impress me with his extensive knowledge of EVERYTHING ELECTRICAL. It obviously did not stop with electric items, but he was a true expert on conservation, farming, numismatic collections, science. WASTE NOT seemed to be one of his ethics. He would spend hours and hours disassembling junked electronic items and saving each and every screw from the item. He recycled every piece of wire...

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

My wife and I saddened to learn of Tommy´s passing. We were planning a trip to the 4-corners area to see him. Tommy and I were students at NMSU in the early 70s. We shared a passion for collecting glass insulators and acquired them often in a rather un-orthodox method - climbing railroad telephone poles and swapping common glass for what we wanted. Luckily we never got caught! We would take short trips to small towns looking for glass behind buildings, went to a few swap meets. I remember...

Thanks for everything you've done for our community Tommy. Thanks for being a friend, all the campfire cookouts and just being there for us. Your love for fireworks and the thumps were the best and one of a kind, the 4th won't be the same without standing out in the sun all day setting up fireworks with you. You're together again with your parents and Renee.... enjoy every minute of it! Until we see you again. RIP our friend.

I went to school with Tommy and he and I graduated in 69 along with others. We were the best class that graduated from FHS.

Condolences to the block family. My father sandy Esidro was a dedicated farmer of his. He started working for bolack when Senator Tom Blockstill ran the ranch. Later passing away. I myself worked for Tommy Jr. It was my first job. He will be missed. My Hod give comfort and strength to his sister. Vbissonette.

My dad knew Mr Bolack and we spent some years watching the fireworks he will be missed dearly

Tommy was a very generous man. I've known him since he was a sophmore in high school and my husband's student.He will be missed! Rest easy, "Hoss"!
