Tommy loved every minute of life and lived it to the fullest. His passions were many – first and foremost his family! He loved fishing (member of Dolphin Bass Club), hunting (member of Barney’s Hunt Club), golfing with buds and playing games and cards with friends and family.
Tommy was a people person! To know Tommy was to love Tommy! His heart was BIG and full of generosity and he was always looking on the bright side of everything.
