To know Tommy was a privilege. His few words were a hallmark of wisdom, and he embodied the roles of son, brother, husband, father, uncle and grandfather with remarkable skill. 

His kindness, selflessness, and willingness to help others without expectations were traits that endeared him to many. Tommy's sense of humor was legendary, and his ability to recite movie quotes from Smokey and The Bandit was unmatched. He was the ultimate problem-solver. Able to fix anything that was broken, but his colorful language often indicated when things weren't going well. As a mentor, he was highly influential and shared his expertise with others. Tommy was fearless, nothing scared him except seeing someone he loved hurting. He was an adventurer who loved traveling with loved ones. He held a special affection for his mother's cooking and often requested it. 

His passing has left a void in the lives of family and friends, but his legacy goes on.
