I met Tommy about 8 years ago when I joined a group of “senior” golfers in Greensboro. My first impression of Tommy was that he had a spirited nature. Missing a green or leaving a putt didn’t set well with him. And he let those within earshot know that he wasn’t pleased with the outcome. However, when he hit a good drive or iron, or sank a long putt, he never bragged, crowed, or “tooted his own horn” about his good fortune. Such actions demonstrated his competitiveness, and at the same time, his humbleness. I always looked forward to being his partner. Another fond memory I have of Tommy is our discussions about the Green Bay Packers, especially about the performance and fate of Aaron Rodgers. He was passionate out his Packers, and their highs and lows over the years. I shared his passion for the Packers, having previously lived in Menomonie, WI. Tommy was quite a character, who I admired. I feel lucky to have been able to call him a friend. I will miss not seeing him, but am glad that he is no longer suffering. Godspeed my friend. Until we meet again. Michael
