Dearest Les& Becky, I am so sorry for your loss! I wanted to come and be with you, but I was in the hospital. I tried get Dustin to come for me and Bink was out of town. Tommy was there to pay his respects to Joseph, and I could of never imagined that Tommy would leave us next. They are together in Heaven. My heart goes out to you and your family, for I know the pain you are going through. My heart is so broken, and I know that yours is too. Anytime you or Becky want to just talk, call me. Get my number from Jeff and Lisa. My God Bless You All And Keep You Safe Always.

You know Tommy is sure going to be missed by me and my little brother. We enjoyed playing football in the side yard before it was time to eat dinner. He was at my house all the time, he is part of my family, and we love him Tanky & Little Kevin

Tommy is going to be loved and missed very much. I remember when he walked my daughter Ashley home from school (his side kick) because he didn't want her to get in trouble. I also remember when he took he trash out before my own kids. We had lots of fun with Tommy around and we're sorry you've lost someone that special to everyone. Lots of love aunt DD and ASHLEY!!!

When Tommy was younger I used to pick him and Gary up and we'd go fishing, and they'd spend the night. I still can't believe this has happened to Tommy. He was always so full of life and willing to help us when we needed it. He will be missed. My condolences to his family, and friends.
