Tommy’s career was hardware and being a store owner. But his love and true passion was his home, his lawns, and many, many projects. I promise you Tommy, there are no lists to complete in Heaven.
There will be a Celebration of Life in the summer of 2019 at their home that Tommy built on the East River Rd.
