He met and married his best friend and love of his life Jesse Lorene (Giles) in Wynnewood, Oklahoma where she was living while taking care of her grandmother Vineyard. They married and spent 65 wonderful years together. Tommie loved camping, fishing, going to the coffee shop, sharing jokes with his friends, and going to the Monday night music at the Wynnewood Senior Citizens Center with his friends and Bob and Brenda Cudabeck. Tommie loved his Katie community and church. He had many friends and cherished each and every one. He loved to sit on the bench at Wal-Mart and unofficially greeted everyone who entered.
