Tommy was my friend and buddy. We loved listening to classic rock and dancing in the car lol. I miss him terribly. I still look at my fiancé Grubb and say why don’t you call Tommy and then I remember he’s gone to his heavenly home. I still talk to him and if I know Tommy he’s listening. Anyway me and Grubb miss him terribly but God had other plans for Tommy. So I’ll keep talking to you till I get ready to stop whenever that may come. We love ❤ You Tommy
