Wow, needless to say all the Powers family reunions, Tommy and Emory always made sure that who ever rented the hall that year and work on getting everyone together got help with it. Coming to my rescue one night when mama was in St. Mary's I had a flat and you came to the  hospital to help fix it, R.I.C Tommy glass up to a life well lived in every way taking you from the farm to the world.

Uncle Tommy was the best. He spoke like Foghorn Leghorn.." Quit talking so much boy, your tongue will get sunburn!".. He had a great attitude and always offered advice to do better in life. "Paul, Junior, I'm crooked as hell but I treat people fair." He was an original and he is already being missed.  May he rest in peace! Godspeed.
