He attended high school in Madisonville and drove a truck for a living most of his life. He was known for his sense of humor and and his good hearted, fun demeanor. If you didn’t want an honest answer, you’d be better off asking someone else. Tommy loved fly fishing and enjoyed trips to Colorado to take a break from life and seek solace fishing the scenic rivers of the Rocky mountains. He was a huge John Wayne fan and liked watching old western movies. He took pride in his vegetable garden and was a self-proclaimed great cook.
