I graduaterd from Lonoke High School with Tommy and played on the same football team. (THE FIGHTING JACKRABBITS) Tommy was a close friend and a GREAT fullback. I will certainly notify members of the graduating class of 1955 about his passing. We are so sorry for your loss and extend our sympathies.
This is a very sad time. Tommy had a wide world of friends, he will be missed by all of us.

Marie, Janet, and Jeff,
I'm so sorry to hear of Tommy's passing. He was a good man, husband, and father who left a great legacy here on earth. He will be missed by many, but none more than you all. Please know you have friends in Georgia lifting you up daily in prayer. God bless you.
Will miss Uncle Tommy's stories that I remember as a liitle girl. My heart is with Janet, Jeff and family and Aunt Marie. I will miss him.
Janet, so sorry for your loss. My prayers are with you and your family.
Marie and family, just so sorry to hear of Tommys death. I don't see my old Kroger friends as often as used to, and didn't know he was ill. He truly was a good person and will be sorely missed by all who knew him.
Love and God bless,

Tommy & Maire having coffee together with my parents and many othes at Clawson's & Shorty's has been metioned but let's not forget all the times they spent at the Donut Sop drinking coffee.
Tommy aka Harrison meet Joy Holt my mother while attending Lonoke schools & then meet my dad JK Gibbs after moving to Conway High School. So he knew each of them before they knew each other.
Today Tommy & JK are dancing with Jesus.
