Tommy was the greatest, kindest, and most admirable man. I have enjoyed knowing him for the last 6 years and have accepted him as part of my family. He has been a blessing to me and I wish I would have had more time with him. He was like a grandfather to me and I am truly sad to see him go. The Conner Family has adored him and accepted him as one of our own. I am saddened to see his departure, but his memory lives within me and my family. I love you Tommy.
