Guestbook

  1. I’m so sorry to hear of Tommy’s passing but we know without a doubt he is at home with his heavenly Father and his precious wife Kit! No longer suffering in any way. My heart felt condolences and prayers for his boys and the rest of his family.

  2. Sending love and strength to Chris and TJ as they navigate this loss. I have many fond memories of times with Tommy (most of which were centered around fishing!). He will be missed

  3. So sorry for your loss. Sending peace and love to Chris and TJ in the coming days. Tommy will certainly be missed!

  4. It is sad to lose another brother but the Lord said it was time. Will miss talking with him and hearing his jokes which made me laugh even when they weren’t that funny. Our prayers and thoughts go out to Chris and TJ for the loss of their Dad and the man that they looked up to. 🙏

  5. Tommy helped me so much after Larry passed; I will always appreciate him.
    He always made the trip to the beach unforgettable
    My love and prayers go out to Chris and TJ.
