I think of Tommy daily. He is included in my nix-play where I have all my family pictures. He left us way too soon.
God Bless to all his family.

I only had the privilege of knowing Thom from a couple of Kerville reunions. We struck up a friendship because he was a classmate of one of my younger brothers. At the time he lived in Nolanville,Tx near Temple where my family now resides.I am sorry that we were out of town and not aware of the funeral or we would have been there. I cherished the time I was fortunate enough to spend with Thom. He was a very good person, I feel confident that he enriched the lives of his family and all those around him.
We know God had other plans for him. May he rest in peace.

Sadly, Tommy isn't with us on earth and we won't see him at the all class reunions, but we sure will remember him. I was proud that he knew me and I was even prouder to say that I knew him.

I was sad to hear of Tommy's passing. I knew him since were were just kids. I saw him at the 2006 P.S.J.A reunion and he was just the same great guy that he always was. May God bless all of his family and be with you during this difficult time.
