Bubba Family: My sincerest sympathy! Tomi was a sweet, charming,most kind gentleman who was one of my dad's 3 best friends. My dad, Al,& Tomi shared the same birth date, but Tomi was 5 yrs.older. When Tomi attended my dad's 90th B/D party in 2006 I informed him that I started to organize dad's 100th in 2016 & that he would be @ the head table also. With his sense of wit his reply "Lori, you really are pushing it, but I will try to stay alive for that one! My dad passed 2 days after his 95th B/D celebration in 2011. Tomi was by my side @ J&B's funeral home telling me to be strong for my family knowing that I just lost my best friend! Holding my hand tightly & squeezing it frequently he kept offering words of encouragement while talking about his friendship with my dad. His power of speech will not be forgotten! Tomi is now with his wife, my dad,& Ron Richardson. They are probably sharing stories while eating & drinking wine & watching how we deal with sadness. Bubba family: As Tomi said to me: "Be strong for the family & guide them now & always with love, affection & understanding!" Allow beautiful memories to sustain you. I send you hugs Thank you, Tomi,!
