How odd, today for some reason, I thought 2 different things about my Uncle Tommy:
- My Dad told me: Tommy could run as fast backwards as other people could run forwards.
- I remember him getting a letter from the Dallas Cowboys at Mother’s house when I was a little kid. An injury is what kept him from getting drafted by them.
- Of course that led to other memories, such as him being at the tire shop in Irmo. I was there and a guy said: “looks like we have some football players here…” and one was a guy at USC and other was my Uncle Tommy!
R.I.P.
