Tommy and I go way back to Travis. I always liked sitting by him because I knew he wouldn't steal my pencil and eraser like Jimmy Coody liked to do. He was very smart and I liked his handwriting, too. He was also very polite and it was a pleasure to stand in line by him. He didn't push or shove. When we got to Lamar, I thought that he and Carol Ann Hill could be brother and sister because their faces favored in my mind. I have very plesant memories of Tommy. I'm glad that we shared our school years together.

I remember that in elementary school, we used to chase Tommy on the playground. I think we threatened to kiss him, but he was very fast. We never did, & I don't remember who we was. So sorry for another classmate to be gone.

My friendship with Tommy began in junior high and went through high school graduation. We attended the same church and were in many classes together including choir. He possessed a great tenor singing voice and attended Sam Houston on a music scholarship Also, very intelligent guy. A great gentleman and scholar. Blessings on him.

Tommy was both a gentleman and a gentle man. He was polite and kind and always had a smile and a kind word. He was a pleasure to be around. I'm happy that he was my friend.

So sad to lose a friend. Tommy was such a nice young man and friend. Makes me sad that we didn't keep in touch as years rolled by.

Tommy had a big smile. He normally let others do the talking. I bet he enjoyed retirement in Shiloh.
