Enjoy your stroll over Heaven, until we meet again! Tommy had a passion for music, as he played the guitar and sang, and he also was a sports fanatic, with his favorite team being the Washington Redskins. On any given Sunday morning, he would only be found watching his ministries, especially Jimmy Swaggart. His favorite phrase was “Ahhh boy!”
