Tommy would like everyone to know, his work here is done. He has received, sort of a job offer from a higher power, that he simply couldn't refuse. This new assignment comes with a huge sign on bonus, excellent wages, fantastic benefits and plenty of time off to visit friends and family, some of which he has never met. His new mission takes him to a wonderful place where he will be socializing, attending bonfires, drinking his favorite Smirnoff, off-roading, playing his X-Box, frolfing, watching his favorite movies and rebuilding Chevy (not Ford) cars and trucks. Music, laughter, peace and love are guaranteed; and he'll have plenty of his favorite foods. He has left detailed instructions for his family and friends to celebrate his time here and he wants you all to know, he'll be watching over us. "Grieve for me, don't dwell over me."
Honorary casketbearers are his sister, cousins, and best friends.
