After he and April were married they moved back to Mansfield where he worked for Webster Hydro Propane Company, drove a bus for Mansfield Schools, owned and operated Tommy’s Gas Station in Mansfield, was an auto body repairman and drove a tractor-trailer for many years for O’Reilly Auto Parts. He and April moved to Rogersville in the early 90’s and remained there until his passing. Tommy had made a profession of faith in Christ many years ago and was a member of the Faith Life Church in Branson. Tommy was a loving husband, father, grandfather, son, brother, uncle and a caring neighbor and friend. We celebrate his life and will cherish the good memories that we had with him.
