Terri:

Tommy died at his home in Richmond of a heart attack.  He was married and had a son.  Tom and his brother Rick were good friends and neighbors of mine.  I had been looking for those two guys for 40 years when I came across the obit for Tom.  In it, I also found that Rick had died some time ago.

I was able to make contact with their sister Patty, who actually lives very close to my office.  We've been able to exchange memories and pictures.

I remember how several of us after graduating were able to get cars. I got the 69 Mstg, I think Mike Lowe had a Firebird, John Allen had a Nova, and I think it was Tom Daley who had a Cougar.  We kept them washed and waxed and put in tape decks and speakers.  Fun times.
