George, Anna and Matt. I was so sorry to hear about Tommy's passing. He was always smiling and a good kid and friend to have. Just because we haven't seen each other in 30 yrs, doesn't make it hurt any less. He was a neighborhood kid and friend to many. Such a loss. Please find my deepest condolences heartfelt and true.
Holly and Matt, We am so sad to see your loss of your brother. Our hearts go out to both of you and to all his family and friends.
My condolences to the Ashley family.
Tommy was such a great guy. I remember he would let us younger kids help decorate his cars for the Demos at Riverside. My heart goes out to the Ashley Family. Spikenard circle lost a great one
My dear friend will be missed by myself and many others for his humor. Attention to detail that many dis not see and his commitment to work and comrottory with friends and coworkers. He was a fellow motorhead and xhevelle enthusiasts and a deep deep love for old school muscle cars ! !...I had spent many years with my friend working with him and one of the hardest workers I've ever gotten to work beside. So many laughs so many good times so many memories with my good friend, brother Tombo !! I/we will miss you always...till we meet again my friend...
