Tommy your family has been friends of ours from before you were born. We always enjoyed spending time together. Especially when your family would come to dinner at Clara and Bud Colson. Your dad would often go fishing with Bud and me. You and your family friendship has and is very special to us. It sad you left us so young but I believe the lord needed you more. He's probably has you playing music already. RIP Tommy. God's blessing for your family.

I met Tommy at Dorney Park when I was 15yrs old. He and the other members of the band Cornered (James and Jeb) became some of my best friends in highschool. We all spent many of days and nights together listening to the band practice and play, hanging with friends, and just enjoying life together as friends. Tommy always loved dogs, even back then, you would find him during social events and parties playing with the family dog if there was one. He was quick to laugh and had a smile that sparkled. As life went on and we all grew up, I have only spent a minimal amount of time with Tommy as an adult, but he was always quick to help (watching my pup) and was always kind. I will miss his sense of humor and slightly mischievous smile. I am happy he was a part of my life, and he will never be forgotten.
