Remembering a great classmate and Ram

  1. As a member of the Class of 1970, I had a reunion of sorts with Tommy several weeks ago at the Chick-fil-A in Skyland, where he huddled with Coach Buddy Baldwin and Carl Conley among others. His face lit up, and a huge smile welcomed me as we reminisced about our days as class “cut-ups” being called out by various teachers. We laughed and laughed some more. Most people will remember Tommy as a great athlete, husband, father, citizen. I will remember his generous spirit. And, of course, his laughter that warmed an old fella’s heart. Rest in peace, my friend.
