I had the privilege to be Tommy's principal, teacher, and coach. He was a very special guy
He wasn't the best player i ever coached but he may been the best Person. He became a good friend later when he coached State Line. My how I love him. We will all miss him but he lives on in Heaven and in our hearts.
My prayers an condolences to his wife, children and grandchildren. Also, to Pastor, the staff and students of the church and school.
To our 81 State Champion Team...another of us has fallen, pick up his torch and fight the good fight of faith. Tommy would want that!
I love you all! Coach

After 40 years seeing Tom at the reunion there wasn't a gap in time picked up where we left off. I'll say this Tom was predictable most of his classmates we knew who Tom was gonna be and who he was gonna be the same top shelf person he was in school period
