Tommy retired from Cryovac after 25 years of dedicated and faithful service. He was a huge fan of the South Carolina Gamecocks and loved watching NASCAR races, rooting for Dale Earnhardt and then Chase Elliott.

Along with his parents, Tommy was predeceased by a grandson, Korey Isham and 9 brothers and sisters.
