Lisa & Chris, we are so sorry to learn of your loss. Tommy was always so kind whenever our paths crossed. I remember during my childhood, him sitting out on the driveway in a lounge chair passing out Halloween candy, him being at the park recreation building, seeing him at ball games when Clate and Chris played little league, and then him being on duty at the hospital when my Mother passed away and his kindness during that difficult time. I know you will have difficult days ahead, but we pray God's comfort and peace are with you to help you move beyond the grief and reflect on all of the joyful times together. God Bless You All.

Mrs. Anderson & Chris,
Your husband and father had such an unquestionably genuine personality and smile that brought warmth and ease upon those he was around. I'm honored to have known him and thankful for those grade school years of my life that he coached and mentored me. I am truly sorry for your loss, know that he will live on in the hearts & minds of so many that he touched and our Lord is taking care of him now.
God Bless you and your family.
