Tommy Burnes was a nice person. He was interested in auto racing. His mother was a wonderful person and she was for a fairly long time the Church secretary for Pilgrim Lutheran Church at 5th and E Streets. Tom was mentioned by the Pastor from time to time during his sermons on Sunday mornings. His death hit his mother rather hard as can well-be imagined. He seemed to love life and was in search for the part of it where he could do the most. - Alex
I loved Tom's honesty and intelligence. We were rivals in the speech club and enjoyed interacting with one another. Tom was so unique, I can say that I never met another person like him. Had he lived, he would have done great things in his life.

Tommy loved the drums. His favorite song was Wonderful by Johnny Mathis. He was just a nice person.
