To The Alexander Family, Sorry to hear of the passing of Tommy. I will always have fond memories of shooting hoops with him on the playground basketball court. He was extremely athletic with tremendous jumping ability. He was an all around good guy and I enjoyed his company any time we encountered each other. I will miss him. My sincere condolences to Debby and family.

to the Alexander family:
We are sorry for your loss. Tommy was a great person always willing to help when he could. He was a professional in his job and a great funny guy to be around. He knew his job and always was willing to help those who didn't understand the rules or regulations of the town. When ever I saw him he always had a great smile on his face. A class act, he will be missed by all.

Tommy was the man! He was a great neighbor and I'll never forget his wit, his wisdom, and his advice on life, over a couple of beers on hot summer nights...sitting on our front porch on Pocahontis Street. I'll remember him always as that awesome guy some 20 years ago. Thank you Tommy- for everything. Rest in paradise.

With deep Condolences to the Alexander and Bullock family. Tommie was a "PILLAR" in the Morristown Community. His athletic abilities as a Receiver in football and a Center in basketball gave Morristown High something to be proud of.

What n I say. Tommy and I were close friends and workmates for over 25 years. He was smart, funny and a great dad, who was always proud of his kids. He constantly fought injustice, and strived to make Morristown a better place to live in. He was looked up to by many in the community. We spent many a lunch trying to feel our way through the political mine field that we worked in and supported each other when the harsh light politics shown on us. I will miss his smile and laughter, and will always keep a place in' my heart for him.
