I was shocked and sad to hear about Tommy's passing. Tommy was one of the nicest guys at Coronado. All of the Tierneys have always had a special place in my heart. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Tom Tierney was a great friend, he had redish hair, and a great smile, was funny and made you feel good. He was a loved one to all of us. He will live in our hearts and someday we will be so happy to meet him again. I will miss him. Greiving is a task that requires time and patience. My how god has blessed us with his friendship!

Tommy,

I was always jealous of the fact the you could blow smoke rings back in the day when we would hang out by the mini market on shadow mountain. I hope you have found peace.

Tom...it's me Janis. I been thinking about you a lot this last year up here in Washington. Wondering what happened, where you went. I managed to talk to our old pal Mike Howard today and he told me you died two days ago. I am shocked even though you and I haven't talked in 18 years.

We lived in the house on Indian Ridge, all of us railroaders and railroad kids. Good times; some not so good times.

Someone please write me and tell me what happened. [email protected].

Peace be with your family, friends, and remainders.

Later Tierney.
