Tommy has always had a spirit that reached out far beyond his physical body. He reflected the joy that was the secret mystery of his heart that overflowed with love 100% bigger then that of his body. He lived his life outside of any chain that could bind him. He loved God, his Mother, family, life and to TALK! No body was a stranger when Tommy was near. Everyone was special to him. Miss him? No, Tommy taught me to much about joy and that the "BEST WAS YET TO COME!" Tommy would not want to come back nor for us to wish that he didn't go. What a life we witnessed! Tommy was ONE OF A KIND! We're surrounded together in God's Glorious Light, Life, Love Embrace at the Throne of Grace with the saints in Heaven.

Tommy was the bravest man I ever met. While so many of us whined about our problems, Tommy rejoiced about his blessings. ♡♡♡

Message from Mike Scott

I was so saddened to hear about Tommy. I have many fond memories of him especially at the Eagle's Family Day and the games. RIP Tommy.

Message from Joseph Gerres

Tommy,
2 Corinthians 5:5-10
5 For we know that when this earthly tent we live in is taken down (that is, when we die and leave this earthly body), we will have a house in heaven, an eternal body made for us by God himself and not by human hands. 2 We grow weary in our present bodies, and we long to put on our heavenly bodies like new clothing. 3 For we will put on heavenly bodies; we will not be spirits without bodies.[a] 4 While we live in these earthly bodies, we groan and sigh, but it’s not that we want to die and get rid of these bodies that clothe us. Rather, we want to put on our new bodies so that these dying bodies will be swallowed up by life. 5 God himself has prepared us for this, and as a guarantee he has given us his Holy Spirit.
6 So we are always confident, even though we know that as long as we live in these bodies we are not at home with the Lord. 7 For we live by believing and not by seeing. 8 Yes, we are fully confident, and we would rather be away from these earthly bodies, for then we will be at home with the Lord. 9 So whether we are here in this body or away from this body, our goal is to please him. 10 For we must all stand before Christ to be judged. We will each receive whatever we deserve for the good or evil we have done in this earthly body.
You surely will be missed, but I await the day when we will meet in heaven!
PS: With our new Bodies….. Be ready for a race,
Love your Brother Joe & Bebbie

Dear Tommy,
So very sorry to read about the passing of your Son, young Tommy. I remember coming to your house on Christmas back in 1965? and meeting your family. I can not be there due to another funeral at the same time. Pat McLaughlin who's obit was next to your son's obit was like a family member.

Message from Nancy Hough

Tommy was a member of Aldersgate United Methodist Church for a few years and he was a real joy to get to know. I know you will miss him and wish you many happy memories to comfort you as you grieve. Sincere condolences to his extended family.

I used to see him at the Christiana Mall all the time. He always had a bright smile and said hello. My thoughts and prayers are with his family. May he Rest In Peace.
