A candle has been lit!
I am very saddened at the passing of this dear sweet man that I loved so very much. I met him and his beautiful wife Pat when Tommy was a patient of Dr. William Stuart, my employer. What a terrific man Tommy was, never once in the years that I knew him did I ever ever hear him complain of this dreaded disease MS. Never once did he ever complain, in fact he always had a smile and a kind word for every challenge he faced. I have so many happy memories of my time with him and Pat. I adopted Tommy as the father I never had, I love you so much Tommy and I will miss you terribly Always in my heart.

Tommy became my mentor when I was hired by Reliance Universal in High Point, N.C. in1967. Thank goodness for his patience in taking me with no knowledge and skill and training me. We became very close right up to the time that he transferred to the Sales Dept. and relocated to Savannah. After that I would only see him when he made a trip to High Point. I can't think of a time that he came to High Point without stopping by my lab to chat and catch up. I will certainly miss him and will always have so many good memories of working with him. My prayers go out to Pat and his extended family. RIP my dear friend.
