He was an avid hunter and fisherman. He enjoyed riding his motorcycle, playing shuffleboard and watching Kansas Chiefs football. He will be greatly missed by all those who knew him.
Tommy’s family wishes to thank the wonderful people of the Fair Play area for the love and support shown to him especially during these last few difficult months.
