Tommy worked as a barber, owned Bill's House of Styles. He spent his life being a true servant to everyone around him. He loved his family and his clients. Tommy enjoyed his family, being Santa Claus, but most of all making people laugh. He had a smile and laugh that would light up the room. He leaves behind a legacy of unconditional love, generosity, the best chicken and dressing recipe, and the very best hugs-freely given and never forgotten.
Pallbearers are Jim Cook, Wilson Cook, Daniel Newton, Shane Mitchell, Raleigh Watkins, and Ryan Watkins. Honorary Pallbearers are Rickey Ritter, Doug Newton, Mike Belue, Tommy McCafferty, Harold Bragwell, Dr. John Young, and Jerry Weathers.
