Had many a good laugh with Tommy and his brothers. His dad was a cool guy also. We were in the scouts together with Troop 51. His dad was the Scout Master, We were kind of wild in those days. But had a great time. "Thank you Lord for the food we already done et!" Inside joke. I am sure he would laugh at that one. It was a classic for our age. I will remember him in just that setting around a campfire laughing and joking with all of us together. What a rip we had. I won't forget him. I never do.
I remember him shooting his dad in the chest with a jack ball cannon. Knocked the wind right out of him. We laughed so hard it hurt. Thing is his dad told him to do it! It wasn't like he didn't know it was coming. His dad said all he saw was a red blur coming at him. Said he was never going to do that again! Rest in peace Tommy.
I'm the editor of the Navy Veteran organization magazine, the CRYPTOLOG. www.usncva.org I'm going through the obituaries for the spring issue and just found Tommy's obituary to be printed in our upcoming issue. Weird, I told Tommy I was a CT but he never told me what he did in the Navy.

Tommy and Tim spent many days on Lake Ferguson. I enjoyed our band days together. He will be missed.
