Lavonne and Sons, I was so sorry to hear Tommy has left this earthly realm to eternal life! What a gift for him, but what a void left in our lives here until we see him again. Tommy was such a one of a kind guy. I can only repeat what others have said about his character. To me, he always brought a smile to my face whenever I saw his face. And when he spoke I could count on laughter behind my smile. Loved his giggle!!! Tommy will live on in all of the lives he touched!!! God loves you and I'm working on it!!! Love and prayers to you all during this time!

Lavonne and Boys, my thoughts and prayer are with you today for a safe and gentle passage through this time in your lives. Although Jim and I moved away many years ago, the lessons Tommy taught me have stayed with me and become a part of my life. I will never forget the can full of weeds and the hand-made "Get Well" banner he brought to the hospital after a surgery. I felt he had put more friendship and feeling into those then the most priceless flowers from a flower shop he could have bought. His, Lavonne's and the boys' kindness and friendship - and especially the program for life that Tommy and Lavonne so generously shared with us will never be forgotten. Rest in Peace my dear friend, you will be missed by so many whose lives you touched. Say hello to those friends who have gone before you. Lavonne, my prayers are with you and I hope to see you soon.

Tommy was one of the nicest guys I ever met! He subbed for MISD and when I worked at Abell he would come into the office and talk to me in the mornings. He always had something wonderful to say about his wife, sons and grandkids! He was so proud! Sweet soul and a good man! We lost a precious treasure but Heaven gained a great soul! You will be missed, friend! My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and all his many friends!

Tommy went out of his way to help people. I have watched him suffer so much in this illness. He never made a big deal about it, but was very brave when I saw him. He was a good man.

Lavonne and family - My thoughts and prayers go out to each of you during this sad time. I know Tommy is in a better place now and out of pain. He was a very good father-iin-law and friend to me for years and I am grateful for that. Even all the times he woke up at 4:00 am and banging the cabinets in the kitchen making coffee! He was a wonderful gradfather to Cole and the times spent with Cole are memories that will be with him forever. Love to all of you.
