We are saddened to hear of Tommy's passing. He and Lyle worked together for several years at Koch driving truck together. We spent a lot of time together in our younger years and enjoyed his company. Tommy O had such a wonderful sense of humor, and we had many fun times with him. He was loved and will be missed. Scotty, Shane & all of Tommy's family, you are in our thoughts and prayers!

Until we meet again Tommy Boy

We loved Tom! He won some beautiful instruments at the Miles City Bluegrass Festival! What a fun event to share with him! If we weren't there the next year he'd tell us he missed us. We enjoyed seeing his newly won bluegrass instruments from the festival. With our sympathy, C'Dale & Phil
