We just heard about Tommy. Haven´t been in touch with him in years but always thought about him. Such a great guy and we had so much fun singing and playing guitars. He will be missed.

Tommy was a great friend! When our paths crossed in the 80's, he became an important part of the Larson extended family, and we all had much fun together Just last year, Tommy joined us for my brother's Celebration of Life and he jammed on his base with my husband. I know my brother Sven will be greeting him in the afterlife
My condolences to Tommy's family- his light will be missed.

I have very fond memories of Tommy from our high school years. He was in my husband Kenny´s class. Many of us girls had a crush on him at some point! Last time I saw him was probably 10 yr reunion, Class of 72. We are so very sorry for your loss. Another one gone way too soon. With Sympathy, Ken & Julie Gunn

I´m sorry for the loss for his family, and you all have been in my thoughts! I hope you guys find peace, and Tommy keeps rockin! Sending so much love!
