I just learned of Tommy passing away. I wish I could have talk to him once again he was supervisor at JCI , I was in quality. But I loved coming to work on line under Tommy. He was firm, but fair and an excellent supervisor. I think I may had contact with him a couple times by fb messenger in the years after , just let me know he hadn’t forgotten me. But he was good to his workers. No one seemed to mind. We enjoyed him. He even choice me to go with him to the next job. And I appreciate him having the confidence in me it made me strong. He definitely made positive impact on many. And we will miss him. Prayer’s for your family and know your employees love you. Those days were the best days of my life and he will always be in my thoughts and I will always have the most respect for him. And prayers for his family. Rest in peace Tommy. I will see you in heaven. Miss you my friend.;( I’m sure your family is heartbroken. I wil continue to pray for your family.
Thank you for everything my dear supervisor and friend.
One last thing his family may enjoy. When I worked at JCI and we get off at 1120. I was young and worked a midnight job st a local gas station. He would come in after he was finished at work only to make sure I wasn’t scared. I would have sigh of relief when he game. Just to see if I was scared. And make sure I was ok. Thank you do much tommy. Those days I give anything if we could be back.
Rest in peace.
