Tommy and I go back to Sedge Garden and were teammates on our little-league baseball team at Red Shield Boys Club. He was a heck of an athlete. Only Tommy would make a hole-in-one about a year after having one of his legs amputated. RIP.  BB

This is such a sad announcement. Tommy was such a great classmate, friend, fellow football player, baseball player. He always had a beautiful smile, not only with his mouth, but his eyes. He was very respectful to others and always willing to help one in need. Tommy will be greatly missed, as his brother Ronnie and his sister. I pray for his family and their needs, hearts to be healed and comforted by knowing Tommy was loved by so many including all his classmates. He will be deeply missed. Thank you Tommy for your friendship and kindness you gave to me at school. Fly high with the Angels now and our fellow Eagles. RIP.
