We will be getting together up in town in Seven Points to celebrate our father's life on

Sunday, April 14th, 12 - 3pm. We would invite everyone that has known him over the years to come out to share in this event.

Because this is a celebration, we will eat, drink, laugh, and probably cry a little...and tell stories of Tommy's antics. He led a big life, so let's send him off in a big way.

We will have brisket and fixins. We're asking everyone to bring a side or dessert to share.
