It was shortly before kick-off on Thursday, August 29, 2024, when Thomas “Tommy” Hillard Free, III, age 81, of Fayetteville, Arkansas, passed away at his home. Tommy was born on December 1, 1942, in Dumas, Arkansas, to Thomas H. F Read Obituary
I worked with Tommy for many years at Arkansas State Bank. He never met a stranger. He will be missed by many. Prayers for his family.
So thankful for the example of men like Tommy Free in my life. (Seems like Siloam Springs had more than most of these type of men, so I didn’t appreciate the rarity that it was)—Men who consistently looked for ways to serve others, pour into younger generations, and make their communities better places. Tommy Free did all of these with a smile on his face and twinkle in his eye. Prayers for the Free family.
So sorry about Tommy, enjoyed 27 years of working together and years long friendship. Our prayers are with you. Art & Diane Morris
Tommy, you were larger than life man. I sure enjoyed knowing you for the last 20 plus years. I will cherish the time I was able to spend with during my visits to Arkansas. You will always be “Head Hog” to me and I will continue to carry the AR flag here in Colorado and will continue to be Junior Hog. Look forward to seeing you in heaven.
Tommy Free…what a great guy and a great friend! Every time Kathy and I would be with Tommy and Becky for dinner, it would take Tommy 10 to 15 minutes to get to our table…he was visiting with everyone in the restaurant that he knew…and that was almost EVERYONE. Such a beautiful personality, such a true gentleman, such a caring friend. We pray comfort and reassurance for Tommy’s family and the large community of their friends.
I feel sad that we have lost another schoolmate. I pray for the family's peace and rest with this terrible loss. Pray to meet you in Heaven Tommy.
