Dear Brandy, Tyler and Brittany,

Our hearts break for you.  Iris reached out to me and we talked about how our family was so full of love and the bond the Simpson siblings and cousins have even when we haven’t seen each other in years.  Tory was so loved.  Please know Aunt Lu, Brianna and I are thinking of you with  love. 

Deepest sympathies
Stevi, Brianna and Aunt Lu

They say that work friends usually stay that. However when you come across  a Tory like himself most of the rules are usually  thrown out of the window. He genuinely either said you were in or you were out. He didn’t  leave you guessing at all. The most i will miss is when we both were on the same sheet of music there was no stopping  us.  We could rally the troops well and move toward
a goal with the best of them. He will be missed truly . I will also miss the true conversation we could have and he got me 100 percent. We could have those conversations that would cause a riot anyone else
but we knew what each meant and we both were
passionate about our stance.  A brother is sometime not even family but he is some one who
come along and the respect is given and the love of a brother is shared. He truly will be missed.  I have to say miss you homie and out . The way Tory would stamp a  statement we both would yell BABY!  That would get your blood flowing . Rest my friend  you r brother MT.

We are very saddened and are praying for the family. May you rest in peace while you meet with the family in Heaven. We love you and you will remain in our hearts forever.

The Hammerton Family will cherish Tory through this special memory he made for us. He always had a silly smile and joke ready. We will miss him dearly, but remember him always.

Brandy - My deepest condolences to you and your family.  Theresa and I have you in our prayers.

Last Christmas my kids meeting Tory and Brandy ! They loved them just as much as I do ! My heart hurts for the family , Iv known Tory and Brandy since I was a kid and this just hurts such a special person always had his jokes always made you laugh and he was always there if you needed anything ! He gave me quite a lot of advice in my teenage years ! I’m for sure going to miss him ! 💔

I have known Tory for a long time and he was truly a friend to me.  I will never forget his humor and compassion.  He had so many people that I have talked to that said he was the best supervisor they ever had.  Please know that he touched so many of us and his memory will never be forgotten.  His passing left us devastated.  My heart aches for Brandy, Brittnay, and Tyler.  Any time he talked about yall, you could see the shine in his eyes.  He was so proud of his children and talked about yall alot. And Brandy, he took such pride in telling people he married his high school sweetheart.  He loved showing your prom picture to people.  You could see the love for his family anytime he spoke of them.  I will truly miss that man.  May God bless yall and get yall through this difficult time.  He has definitely left a mark on everyone that knew him.

I am sending my deepest condolences and prayers to Brandy and the family. Even though I had not met Tory in person, but it always felt like he was a part of GE work family. I will truly miss when Brandy and I have to talk over the phone while working at home. I will always hear Tory's voice working from home in the back ground. He also did what he new best and was handling business on the phone while working. Brandy and I will chuckle. He will truly be missed. I pray God gives Brandy and the family peace and comfort during this time. Patricia Finney (GE Work Family)

I'm sorry for your loss. Tory Was My Manager Once At NCB. I Just Wanted To Offer My Condolences 🙏

My deepest condolences to the family. I was saddened to hear of his passing. Tory was my Supervisor at ARS several years ago and not a day went by that he didn't make us laugh and enjoy work. He was very special to us. Prayers of strength and peace that surpasses all understanding.

Well Babe now has a partner in crime now.  You will be missed.

My thoughts and prayers are with you Brandy and your family. Although I had only met Tory a few times, my favorite memory will always be of him and Troy, buying Babe chocolate martini’s.

I have no words that can adequately describe this loss. Tory was a good man, a great neighbor and we will truly miss him. If I ever needed help he always came running. His wise cracking and puns always made my day. Our back and forth banter and jokes were hilarious. His zest for life,  his love for his family and his work ethics showed the type of man he was.  My heart is with Brandy, Brittany and Ty, and his family.
