I worked with Tommy long ago at Penninsula psych. He was a caring loving man to his clients. For me he was always there for me. A strong support and trusted friend.
I wish I had kept in contact with him but life.work and time separated us. My memories always kept him close. You will be missed by many .

Tommy was a special man. For a while he lived across the street from my parents on Powhatan Drive   He visited often and my Mom adored him.  When she passed away we were honored to have him as one of her pallbearers   I know he will be missed by many 

I worked with Tommy at Lassen House for twelve years.  Actually, he is the one who taught me nearly everything I needed to know about working in the mental health field.  His heart was as big as the outdoors.  He cared deeply about each client.  Besides that, he was a wonderful Team-player, working well with every co-worker- a vital asset in that job.      
   But, above all  -  wherever Tommy was - there was FUN!  He brightened-up every single day with his wonderful playfulness.  No one made me laugh harder than Tommy!  I would tell him, "Tommy, your playfulness makes God smile".  And, now Tommy is making God smile- up close and personal!
   This world is a better place because of this hard-working, loving, compassionate, delightful  man.  And, I am a better person for having known him.  Rest in peace, Tommy.  You deserve it.                                                  

we just knew him as Tommy, he was always coming over to debbie and nicks, my next door neighbor. when they had parties or cook-outs he would always be there and we would laugh and share the day or week. he will surely be missed but those memories are what keeps us going. his silly smile, he rollie pollie dog that he went everywhere with. a true friend.

Rest Easy my Dear Friend, I'll cherish all our road trips and lunch dates! Gone but never forgotten!!! You earned your WINGS, fly high!!!  

As a native of Poquoson I have know Tommy for many years...had so much fun when we worked together...even more fun and memories of dates...he was the best...Heaven has a great one now..Keep the smiles and fun IN heaven Tommy...will miss our talks...will see you again one day..

Eight years ago , when I first met you it was hilarious but warm.  And it never stop, you brought sunshine into everyone's lives who you touch.  You will be missed but not forgotten.  I will miss your laugh and smile but again not forgotten.    Walter Branch  will always be in our hearts and memories.

Tommy walked the walk of a good Christain man, son, brother, uncle, friend and co-worker. He lived a good life, putting others first, witty, keen as all get out, remembered sayings from yesterday’s, great for having a meaningful and funny conversation. He would ask if you needed anything and then make it happen if at all possible. He visited the sick, the elderly and most of his work for the Lord was not spoken of.  We here on earth have lost a very valuable person and nobody will ever fill his shoes. Go rest high on the mountain dear Tommy because your work on earth is done and you my dear cousin did a fine job. ✨🙏✨💛✨💔✨
