I remember getting to know Tommy at Motiva Port Arthur. He'd come to my and Emerson Collins' office, and we'd pick on him mercilessly for being a Cowboys fan. Then, after that project was over, I recommended him for the site lead position at TPC. I met him at work, but he was a friend, not just a co-worker. He was always reasonable and realistic in every interaction I had with him. He was so proud of the bar he built for you, Christina. But, as a man, I knew it really meant that he was proud of you as his wife. I will miss him.
