To Tommy's family...I will keep him in my prayers. I only knew him briefly when I worked at ALCO between Navy enlistments. I enjoyed his stories about Army life. I have thought of him over the years but was not aware of his involvement in so many organizations. Gather your memories and hold them dear, but don't worry about where he is - because he has gone to meet our Creator. He is at rest. Trust God.
