Tom was a great guy, I just learned about his passing. So sorry, our thoughts and prayers go out to his daughter, Lauren, we have not had contact with her since she was a child. Tom and I had some great times together, drinking a beer and hanging out together. We took him to Longhorn Steakhouse on Cobb Pkwy for his birthday one year. Tommy could put some food away!!! He was trimming the last little remnants off the huge T-bone steak, that was larger than the plate they served it on, when the waitress came by,she saw it and asked Tommy “are you threw with that, or do you want to knaw on it?” She was just teasing him as she could tell what a good natured man he was. We love him, and will miss him. The last time we saw him was a few years ago at John Boy’s Restaurant, that’s where we saw his picture and found out he had passed away.
