So sad to hear of the passing of Tommy. My family has known him since childhood. He was best friends with my brother, Earl Wayne Mullins and all the Mullins cousins. We always enjoyed seeing and visiting with Tommy at the high school reunions and the dinner we always had at the Bakersfield cafe after the school reunion. He was one of the kindest and most humble person I have ever known. He will be missed.
Condolences to Argie Lou and all the children. Thinking of your during this sad time.
