    20220303_182148.jpg I first met Tommy in Mason, MI about 30 years ago. What an inspiration to watch him on a daily bases. He was a heck of a shooter. Never ever complained. Tommy is the reason EVERYONE should stand, and remove your hat when our national anthem is played. What a wonderful VET. Nobody deserves to have that kind of life. I get VERY UPSET when I see professional football players (and others) who dishonor what this guy done for them. It is TOTALLY against my grit. Anytime I see this kind of BS, I always wished I could push Tommy in his wheel chair right up to them and say "he took this one for u, u SOB". God bless my friend. You can finally RIP.


    The picture is from March 2022 at the Silver Dollar.

    Tom was a real warrior he never complained about his life in the wheel chair or fighting cancer. I met him at the Michigan shoots in the early 80's, he was a great friend that I will miss dearly. 20180330_174544(1) (1).jpg

    Spent time with him. Nicest guy you could meet. Did a bunch of suffering with his illness and having to live in the wheelchair was a challenge that he accepted. Used to trade guns with him and stories at the dollar. He will be missed. Joe rossman
