Tommy, it seems like yesterday you were laughing and telling everyone the newest joke. I still can't believe you are gone, You were a wonderful Husband, Son,and Father.My heart still crys why! I hope you see now, looking down on us, how adored and truely loved you were by everyone.I wished you had reached out to someone of god and released your pain and fears..You did your very best in this life, as a servant and man of God, and I am so proud of you as your family was too. I know your reward is great by works. Tommy, I miss you so! so! much! Please continue to guide my decisions, over your earthly things to share with family, and continue to speak to my heart and I"ll see you in my dreams. But watch over each of us since life is not the same without you here.I will love you forever and I will never forget your voice, smile, and loving nature of a man that you were to me.Travis and Chris cant find the words to express their true loss of a real father and friend,but they will always treasure the man you were to them and the love you gave them unconditionally. R.I.P Your loving wife always.

Tommy I had the pleasure of being around you only a few times. But it was always fun being around you the jokes you would tell and the stories you would share, and the pictures from when you went rootin in the bronco, the trips to the beach with you and the family that you showed with such pride. Every one will miss you greatly!!!!!

Tommy i am really going to miss you. You lit up my moms world. You were the light that helped her see. You made her happier than i have ever seen her.I can not think of a day when you had a bad day and still had enough energy to tell and joke and make us laugh. You always remained in a positive attitude and state of mind. You are one of my heros which i look up too in my life, even if the decions you made i did not like or understand. I will see you someday. May you rest in peace within the heavens and earth

Tommy will never be forgotten! I only knew him for a short time, but there was something about him that touched me in my heart. He was kind, caring, funny, and loved to pick on everyone. He always had something about him that lit up the room. I will miss him dearly and will never forget him!!!!

We are going to miss Tommy so much! He was not only a great friend but was like family! He was always willing to help others. We will never forget the way he stayed by his mother's side night and day when she was in the hospital before she passed. He was a devoted son and it was obvious that they shared a special bond. Now they are together forever. You will all be in our thoughts and prayers.

Tommy is very special to my family. He took the boys fishing on occasion. As I would take the kids to school, we would run into Tommy at WaWa's in the morning. Blanche, we are here for your family during this difficult time. Please know that our thoughts and prayers go out to you and the children.
We miss you, Tommy!

Petey and Beth: What can I say. Tommy was a part of my family for a long time. Even though we didn't see each other for long periods of time. He knew that he could always call on me. When Sqaw died he called me right away. When we were all into CB's years ago we all spent many wonderful hours together. We will miss him but it makes it a little easier knowing that he and his Mom are together in heaven. Keep your chin up and remember God will see you through this. Please keep in touch. You are all in my prayers.

We were so sorry to hear of your loss. The thoughts of many are with you at this time of sorrow. Remember to keep praying to God for his help to comfort and guide you and your family in the days ahead. It will be difficult at times but God will help you. We know because he has helped us since Shirley passed away. Keep the faith and continue to count on your friends at Mt. Hermon United Methodist Church for their support and caring.

I am so very sorry to hear that Tommy has left us. Though it's been quite a while since I saw him, we were friends from way back when he was into the C.B. radio and called himself Muffler Man. I knew his mother and father, his brother Petey (who used to call himself BlueBoy on the radio). My sympathy goes out to his wife and children and the rest of his family. May God bless you and guide you through this trying time. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
