  1. Just came across this. Had the pleasure for working daily with Tommy at WXYT for several years. One of the most respectable men I ever met in Journalism. Signed a copy of his book for me…used the call me The Kid on the Controls.
    Keep hounding them in Heaven Tommy…truth is out there.

  2. Tommy was part of my every day listening schedule! Talked to him frequently on WXYT and Real warrior . He spoke the truth! He’s missed!
