I feel so bad that Tommy and I never had a chance to talk. We both were born in 1949 in Memphis and came to Atlanta in 1954. Rest in peace Tommy.
Great memories of time together with Tommy and his beautiful family. Camping trips, Tech games, visiting their home.
Rest well my friend – thank you for the gift of your friendship from our high school years all through our lives. So happy you found the love of your life even though you met her when Debbie was my date when we double dated to a Braves game. It all worked out in God’s perfect plan as I found my Vicky and we both married way above our pay grade. Thanks forr being my partner in crime in the Chemistry lab our senior year that led to the colorful creation on page 16 of the 1967 FPSH yearbook. Didn’t do a thing but it sure looked impressive! Love you my brother in Christ!
