Tommy passed away in auto accident in 1967 or 1968. He is survived by his sister Debbie (and family).
Tommy was such a wonder guy, always happy. I still miss him and think of him often. Most of our classmates went to his funeral even though the school had said we couldn't go. The line of cars stretched for what seemed like miles. Another boy died with him but I cn't remember his name.

The other boy who passed away with Tom that night was George Moore from the class of 1967. I played basketball with George, and that night they called me to see if I wanted to go to Ventura with them, but I just wanted to stay home. I found out about the accident and their deaths the next day in the Oxnard paper. I was a pallbearer for both of their funerals.Beth Day (Bevington)
Tom and his family lived across the street from me. I knew them for many years. We argued like brothers and sisters. His family was so loving and I remember them taking me to their Baptist Church Revivals....as you can see by my profile it didn't help. If his mother reads this I would love to hear from her as would my mother.Jack Martinez
Tom and I were classmates in Driffle Elementry School. We were all blown away by this tragedy. He really was such a cool school friend as kids.
