Tom Davis gave me my first break in the mortgage business which has been my livelihood for me and my family for 30+ years. He was very kind and caring and I admired him greatly.

My mother, Mickey, was Tommy's first cousin. The family used to go out to the house to visit my Great Aunt & all when I was little. I remember Tommy's Jeepster-- and his love of it-- most of all, and his smiles and good humor. Although I had not seen him since for many years, all my memories of him are happy. I'm so sorry he's gone.

I too remember Tommy fondly. I am Lynda Lambert's sister and we always looked forward to visiting Aunt Nell. When we were teenagers we hoped Tommy would be there because he was so cute and we all had a crush on him. I am so sorry to hear that he has passed.
