I have a lot of memories of Tommy, one in particular, of how he's always going to value village and scoring something good. Anyway it was my 29th birthday and what he got for I'll never forget. He took the time to get a shirt for me, he threw it at me and as he did he said" don't you wish you were that age again?" Lol it was a #22 Green Bay Packers shirt. I still have that shirt. Oh the memories we have of Papa Tom, we all miss you. Fletcher, Cyndi, Jesse, Henner, Joshua, Alyssa, Eliza, Nigel, and Bazil. - Posted by: Cyndi (Step daughter) on: May 18, 2017
