Tommy loved all things hunting and fishing, ice cold beer, music, good cooking and laughing with family and friends. He had traveled to every part of the world except for Antarctica. He was well versed in the writings of Carl Sagan and spent many nights staring at the stars for proof of extraterrestrial existence.
