In January of 2021 he moved to Faith Community Nursing Home where he continued to live until his passing.

        Early in his residence at Greystone, he asked Jesus to be his Savior and Lord. He enjoyed reading and studying his Bible. When asked what denomination he was, he would say “I am a Christian.” Tommy was always ready with a “God Bless You” for anyone, to friend or family, even right up until the end.
