So glad I got to meet Tommy about 12 years ago. He was at a restaurant in Westlake Village CA I was playing at. We were outside talking to him on a break. I asked if he was still doing the yo-yo thing. He said yes and actually pulled a yo-yo out of his sock and starting doing tricks. This actually happened. Totally funny and super nice guy.

He looked so much like him and every single body movement, facial expressions and posture was so perfect it was uncanny. Beyond that, he was hilarious and clever to a degree few can match in comedy. He will be missed and remembered.

As you get older you realize there are generational truths. Being a kid in the 80's/90's you'd remember how your parents, grandparents, aunts, and uncles said how much simpler "things"were. Now, looking back on the 80's/90's you can easily say "things were so much simpler, and more innocent" back then. Makes you wonder how much worse "things" are going to get. It's an odd thing. Are "things" going to get so much worse that 30 years from now we look back at this time and say the same thing? Or do you think there will be a catalyst to actually change "things" to the point that we say "wow, "we" were pretty crazy, circling the drain back in 2023, but since - - - - - - we are, as a whole so much more civil, caring, and family oriented".

One of my fathers favorites. He passed a few years ago. We are losing so many these days. Soon a whole generation will be lost. RIP 🙏
