Great memories of Tommy from the first day his grandmother brought him to our third grade class in Eureka Springs. He loved sports and competed hard as my friend and fellow Highlander. Through our school years, Tommy loved the Highlanders, St. Louis Cardinals and Arkansas Razorbacks. Trips to Razorback football games with Tommy, Judge Arthur Carter and his grandfather are special memories for me. His home was open at any hour of the day or night for a visit from any of his or his sister Jonelle many friends.
Thanks for serving your Country, old friend. Rest in Peace.

Growing up in Eureka Springs, Tommy was one of our Little League coaches. Years later, he refereed several of my son's basketball games. I mention this as a testimony to Tommy's perpetual commitment to helping young people. For him, it was not something that came and went.
He was a good friend, a groomsman at my wedding, and someone you could count on to keep things from being dull. I am thankful that I knew him, and will miss his good humor, kindness, and generosity. I have many fond memories of him for which I am grateful. Thank you, Tommy.
