Tommie gave his company and comfort to our late sister during her battle with cancer in a very quiet and unassuming way and for that we will always be grateful. We wish to offer our deepest condolences to his family and friends. There is no doubt he touched a lot of lives both through his work and his personal life and while nothing will make up for his loss we pray that you will find comfort in a life well lived over the coming weeks and months.
