  1. Tom and l were good friends when we lived in Albuquerque, New Mexico in the 1980’s. He loved to tease me when my Green Bay Packers didnt have a winning season, and likewise, l was happy to razz him about the Cleveland Browns. We actually we went the Albuquerque Airport to greet the Browns when they came to practice for a play off game with the Broncos. He was so happy back then! Always full of life! He sure did love to laugh and loved rock music back then too, especially Bon Jovi. So glad he stayed with us for a visit in New Mexico a couple of years ago. We made good memories again and he was a good man who loved his country deeply. I will see you my friend again. Love you, Tom.

  7. Bonnie, as you may recall, I worked with your late husband Bud for several years at the Smith Grocery. At that time I had not realized that your brother was Tom and of course Ted and Tim. I knew all your brothers. They and you are of a fine family. I’m so sorry for your loss. God bless you, your brothers and Bud.

  8. My deepest sympathies to all in the family. I am so happy that I was able to reconnect with Tom after we lost contact for 30+ years. I can still hear the surprise in his voice when I was able to call him and juggle his memory that we were former neighbors in my neighborhood. I considered Tom a good friend despite the age difference, have always looked up to Tom. Thank your for your service, and thank you for being so thoughtful when you gave me some small items to remember you by…always thinking of others. Peace be with you my good friend.

  9. I’ll never forget when Tom came to stay with us. As a little kid, he taught me how to eat chicken wings and introduced me to ZZ Top which he claimed was one of his favorite bands. We would listen to Sharp Dressed Man, La Grange and Gimme All Your Lovin! Tom was a Patriot and will be missed by many! Rest in peace Tom!

  15. Tommy, many great memories of us at Beall Ave and the Summers. We taught each other how to play sports and had great fun doing it. Whether it was basketball, baseball, or even football, it seems we did one of them almost everyday year long. Thank you for being a great friend!
