I lived a few doors down from the Hewitt's back in the 1960's. I remember how he could play the piano and sing. Dressing up was fun too, one Halloween he dressed up as Count Dracula and I was Mrs. Dracula. He did my whole costume and my make up and hair. We were a hit roaming around Cary Street. We moved away and never saw each other again, but you always wonder where people are and what they are doing. Reading his obituary, I see that he did exactly what he was made for and glad to see that he had a wonderful like and spouse.

I lived next door to the Hewitt family on Parkwood Ave. Helped them to move to their Bon Air home. Tommy and the whole family were wonderful neighbors. Such a talented individual. He will be missed.

Wasn´t Tommy the son of Madeline Traina Hewitt in Bon Air?? I am a Taylor cousin! So sorry for your loss. Just found him on Ancestry.
