Worth. He was a lifetime member of American
Legion and Veterans of Foreign Wars. Tommy
worked at IHOP in Fort Worth Owen Martin Henn.
After working the stock show this year, Tommy
said, “Evelynn I’m tired”, so I fixed food and coffee
for him. On Monday morning he said, “I’m still tired”
and at 7pm he drew his last breath. Tommy was a
great husband, grandfather and great grandfather.

be remembered as the dancing man, coined to him
by Linda Brown.
