He loved playing music, writing songs and especially loved playing the guitar until his daughters fell asleep. Tommy enjoyed going to his sisters’ house and weeding her garden, fishing and hunting. Tommy and his friends would head to the farm months in advance of hunting season and would sight their guns and prepare their bows. He loved his family so much and showed it in so many ways. He gave encouragement, made everyone laugh and was always an ear to listen. He will be so dearly missed.
