    I am so sorry to hear of your loss. My dad considered Mr. Tommy as one of his best friends, he enjoyed visiting him at the shop. Mr. Tommy had a heart of gold and was a really nice man. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers.

    To Tommy's family: I am sorry to hear of your great loss. I considered him a good man and he was always nice to me. Years ago, Tommy & Kenny were among the coffee dinkers at the drug store. I often think about when Heather was very young, Kenny would take her with him when he would go to drink coffee. Kenny told Heather while pointing at Tommy, "There's that mean old man." So Heather would call him 'that mean old man' also. She soon learned that he was not mean and started calling him Mr. Tommy and liked him!! I'm praying that God will comfort you as you adjust your life without your loved one.
