Tommy was a quiet man, hard worker, and had a big heart.   Several years have passed, about 35 I guess, since I last saw Tommy.  My last memory was when Tommy, Jeff, and I, (not sure who else) went fishing at Huntsville State Park I believe and caught quite a bit of fish and had an awesome fish fry later that evening.  I remember his wife, Jean, battering up the fish in the kitchen.  We all had a great time.

Jeff, I heard through Laura about your Dad passing and wanted to offer my condolences to you and your family and am really sorry to hear about your loss.

One thing I always tell myself that seems to make me feel a little better when losing loved ones is that, yes, we are obviously sad and hurt because they are gone but not to worry too much because it’s just a temporary delay.  One day we will be reunited in Heaven and at that time we can be together again, catch up, and continue where we left off.  Thank God for designing Heaven that way.

Take it easy brother, I know it’s rough during these times.
Your ex-next door neighbor,

Phil


Tommy always had kindness in his heart for others.  He was always thoughtful and generous.  He was a great man that will be missed!  

When I think of Tommy, I remember a good man with a big, soft heart.
He always thought of ways to give and help others. If you needed him, he'd be right there!
Tommy was so proud of his two sons and their families. He would beam when talking about how well the grandchildren were doing in sports and in school.
I will always remember how he loved planting a huge garden. He would pick the vegetables and deliver them to family and friends. He was a giver and loved sharing his bounty!
Tommy was my best friend and I am so thankful for him. I will never forget this wonderful man!

Tommy worked for our dad when he was in high school, milking cows!  Mom and Dad both thought the world of him and Jean.   We used to go to his parents home, on Hwy. 105, when he and Manuel were still living there and pick plums from the trees in the front yard.  

Your family will be in my prayers.
Deepest Sympathy,
Sheila Herzog
