I offer my sympathy and prayers for all of Tommy's family. My parents were close friends of Jeff and Lanie Fontaine in Center, and my brother and I knew all their boys. They were a wonderful family.

MY SINCERE SYMPATHIES TO ALL OF TOMMY'S FAMILY. I GREW UP IN CENTER, TEXAS, KNOWING ALL OF THE FONTAINE FAMILY. I WAS IN SCHOOL WITH TOM FROM THE FIRST GRADE THRU HIGH SCHOOL, THOUGH A COUPLE OF YEARS BEHIND. WE WERE SCOUTS TOGETHER, AND FRIENDS. HE WAS A FINE PERSON, AND I REGRET THAT WE WERE NOT ABLE TO SEE AND VISIT WITH ONE ANOTHER DOWN THRU THE YEARS.
THE MEMORIES OF HIM AND ALL IN HIS FAMILY I SHALL CHERISH, ALWAYS. LOUIS MULDROW
