He went to school in Wolfforth Texas, home of the Frenship Tigers. Tommy married the love of his life, Kathryn Ayers, on December 26, 1967. Tommy served in the Army from 1967 to 1969. After leaving the Army, he joined the family business and worked as a cotton farmer until 1990. In 1990, he embarked on a new adventure as a truck driver. It was in truck driving where Tommy found his true passion. During his time as a truck driver, he amassed over one million miles and never had an accident! He loved travelling across our great country, but he always said the streets of New York were his favorite. In retirement, he enjoyed spending time with his grand kids and especially liked joining them for lunch on Wednesdays.
