I'm sorry to hear this news of Tommy's passing. I share numerous funny times with Tommy since the 1980s that kept both of us in "Stitches".

The times we shared At Doug's café and at his home in Georgia are unforgettable. This has surely left a void in a lot of peoples lives, especially the family.

I wanted to offer my condolences to Donna and the rest of Tommy's family. Rest in peace brother.

I am glad I got to know the man....

This is a great loss for the community. Tommy was such an awesome and sweet person....absolutely one of the most talented players I've ever had the priviledge of seeing and meeting. I think we'll all agree that his joyful performance style was entertaining, full of passion and just plain inspiring.

I'm so sorry for your loss Donna, the two of you brought something really special to the shows that serve as gathering for the community. My heartlfel condolences.

RIP Tommy!
