Tommy had a love for Harley-Davidson motorcycles and was friends with a lot of people who rode their Harleys. He never met a stranger. His motos were, “Live to ride” and “Hey! Ya’ll watch this!” He was known as the “High-Tech Redneck.” He was environmentally friendly and also loved woodworking and traveling. He would often take us on spontaneous road trips.
