Tommy worked as a teacher and coach for 40+ years and enjoyed driving the school bus and teaching students to drive.

He greatly loved that his career was dedicated to the youth in his community. He often helped teens and young adults in and out of the education system and his local church and spent much of his time ensuring that they knew they were understood. Tommy is loved by so many, as he left a mark on many lives in so many positive ways.

He loved teaching, but his passion and zest for life was able to blossom in retirement and he delighted in spending time with his grandchildren, especially at the waterpark and museum of sciences. To Race, Genesis, and Michael "Poppy loves you."

He loved gardening and sharing what he grew with his neighbors and friends, never met a stranger, was known to always make himself available to help anyone in need, and took joy in laughing with others and had the humor to pull others into his laughter.
