Tommy was educated at the University of Mississippi where he not only obtained a bachelor’s degree but also a degree only life could offer. As an avid Ole Miss fan, he loved watching every sport they played from basketball to football and underwater basket weaving if they had a team. Aside from his larger-than-life personality, Tommy enjoyed the outdoors and loved the solitude of watching the sunrise and sunset. He could often be found tending to his chickens or giving his beloved dogs special attention. Above all things, Tommy was best known for being a loving father to his children and a loving Pop to his grandchildren. He was a member of Clear Springs Baptist Church where learned about the character of his Savior.
