He attended Wayland Baptist College in Plainview and also attended Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, Louisiana for one summer on the National Science Scholarship. He finished his degree at Texas Tech University in Lubbock and later got his master's degree in Mathematics. Tommy married the love of his life, Trena on January 3rd, 1970. He and Trena had 55 wonderful years together. Tommy was a Math Teacher at Lamesa I.S.D. for three years and the Andrews Independent School District for thirty years before retirement in 2004. He was well known for his angel collection that he and Trena collected over the years. He had many passions and hobbies which included his plants, cross stitching, cooking, and baking and was known for his famous chocolate chip cookies; he was the Church pianist for twenty-three years and most notably a lover of cats who he loved dearly. Tommy was a family person, a man of GOD, a teacher, a pet lover, a great co-worker, and a friend to all the people who had the pleasure of knowing him. He will be missed but not forgotten.

The High Sierra Condos Owners Association in Ruidoso, NM was pleased with the leadership and involvement that Tommy shared with the property and owners association. He was a key element in helping keep all the finances in line. Also, we certainly appreciated his sharing of his culinary skills with the Board members. Rest in peace to a sweet man.
