Miss my friend Tommy very much. We´re best of friends from 3rd grade on when he and his family moved to Talladega from Milwaukee. On same Little League team, Babe Ruth team and same team in 4 sports in HS. First time to play against each other was basketball our freshman year in college. He at GaTech and me at Auburn.

Tommy will be missed. Very special friend and teammate. We played on the same team all through youth sports and high school. Played against each other for the first time when he went to Georgia Tech and I went to Auburn. Played against each other in a Freshman basketball game and in three football games. We had fun in doing so. He was very special.
