Tommy was an educated and complex man. His family members were precious to him. HIs friends were many and well regarded as well. Indeed, no favor was too large to ask for. He had a basic sense of fair play. His spiritual side was devout but liitle known except to those closest to him.  I learned my favorit prayer from him. Tommy was a horseman and a horsetrader. He could put a horse deal together out of thin air and treat all parties to it fair and square. I liked him, respected him and counted on his friendship without reservation. He was a good man and is sorely missed.
