Tommie was a ray of sunshine just being around him. I was so blessed to work with Tommie for over 4 years. The joy he brought to a room and his kindness always shined through. I was shocked and saddened to hear of Tommie's passing. Heaven has gained a music loving, Minnesota football fan and a wonderful man. You were truly an angel. I miss you Tommie and pray for your family during this difficult time.

Family you are in our prayers. I truly enjoyed working with Tommie. He was a gift to us all and will be deeply missed.

I am still in absolute shock over how this happened. I know he's never been the same since he lost his Ingrid. So I know on one level he's happy to have moved on to the next dimension of his being. But he's left so many people who love him behind. His mom, his sister especially. You all have my deepest sympathies.
I miss him so much already.

Tommie had a way of making you feel instantly at ease in his company. I only knew him somewhat briefly but he had a way about him, for sure. It's difficult to put into words but it was like he made you want to please him. Maybe it was that infectious laugh that cracked me up whenever I heard it.

I never had chance to thank him for being so welcoming and generous when I first came to Georgia because... well, I guess I just always assumed they'd be time to do it. If there's one thing I've learned from this it's that tomorrow isn't promised, and If we appreciate someone we should tell them.

So thankyou Tommie.. for just being a nice guy.

See you around, me ol' mate

Tommie, I can't describe how honored and grateful I am that I meet you. I will never forget our funny conversations discussing the cafe's dessert of the day. Every single time I saw you, you always greeted me with a huge smile on your face. A contagious smile that could put anyone in a good happy mood. Thank you for sharing your light with the world.

Tommie was one of those guys you couldn't help but like, and I am very glad that I had the chance to know him. It speaks volumes that so many of his friends are coming forward to share so many thoughts: it's absolute proof of how great of a guy he was. Rest in peace, friend, and may God bless and keep your family (including those of us who claim him as family-by-choice) in His loving care during this time of bereavement.
