Tommy worked many years at PSI, where he formed lasting friendships and built strong relationships. If you ever had a conversation with him, chances are he spoke fondly of his beloved granddaughter, Anna Brooke—she was truly the light of his life. He was also deeply proud of his children. His nieces and nephews—Carol Gilchrist, David Hawkins, Diane Reed, and Shannon Lauderdale—held a special place in his heart. Tommy always had a joke ready to brighten your day, making sure you left with a smile. His presence will be deeply missed by all who knew him. Many thanks to Natasha Ledlow, Cyndi Ledlow and Dr. Rhuland’s office for their many years of care.

James, our condolences to you and your family on the death of your brother Thomas.
Wish we could be there for the funeral, but we can’t. Best wishes. John Preston
Lived next door to Tommy when we were kids. He was a good person and cared about others. When we connected on Facebook it was amazing. It’s been over 50 years since I had seen him, I know he loved his family very much and his daughter , Darlene, was his pride and joy. Sending prayers for God to give you comfort. God Bless you
Dear Tank family,
I’m sorry to read of your loved one’s passing and may all find comfort in our Lord’s word during this time of sadness.
In the words of Jesus found in John 11:23-26; “Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.” Martha said to Him, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.” Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?”.
A wonderful promise from our Lord Jesus that we can believe and have confidence in.
God’s continued blessings be upon you all.
Worked with Tommy for many years at psi. I first met Tommy when he worked at Handy tv . We seemed to hit it off as friends immediately . This is what I found out happens with every one who came into contact with Tommy you became friends for life. He would always ask about my daughter and keep up with her progress in life marriage and later blessing me with twins grandsons that Tommy also asked about, I and my family will miss Tommy but we have good no great memories.
