He worked as a handyman. He was a loyal Dallas Cowboys fan. He enjoyed listening to oldies but goodies as he went cruising with friends and family in his 1954 Chevy and his 1969 Impala. He also enjoyed watching classic western movies, especially John Wayne, and could imitate his voice. LOL! We are blessed to have had Tommy in our lives. He will be missed and will be in our hearts forever.
Service details: 10am mass at Saint Patrick's Catholic Parish, 712 Main St in Watsonville, CA.
Immediately after mass to Queen of Heaven Cemetery, 18200 Damian Way, Prunedale, CA.
