Tommy died at age of 23, three months after a single car crash in Mobile, AL. on 10/20/1980. He was a medical student at the University of South Alabama in Mobile, after graduating from his beloved University of Alabama with honors in 3 years. He was brilliant and exceled at everything that he did including his academics and music (piano and baritone- he could even triple tongue!). He was my best friend at MHS, because we were both transfer students who didn't grow up in Lubbock knowing our classmates. I still miss him!
