We are sorry to hear of Tommy's passing. RIP Tommy.

When our family first moved to Denver, it was wonderful to live so close to Tommy. It became a tradition for a number of years for Tommy to come over to the house for our Thanksgiving extravaganza. The first year, I wanted to make it a true Mills Thanksgiving which always included corn pudding. I asked one of Tommy's aunts for the recipe. The recipe was never exact, a little of this, a little of that. The first year, my pudding was a disaster and I told Tommy that I'd figure it out the next year. Corn pudding has always been the wild card when preparing dinner. After about four years, I finally made the PERFECT corn pudding! I was so proud to show it to Tommy. He just smiled at me and said, "You know, Beth, I've never really liked corn pudding." I felt like swatting him, but we all ended up laughing for a long time. Our whole family was there and it is a favorite story told by all over the years. We will always treasure the memories of our fun and happy times here in Denver with Tommy. He was much loved.

I had many good times with Tommy when he lived in Denver. There were many occasions for special times together. From having a meal together, playing softball, playing golf, playing darts, shooting pool, bowling, to talking about family and old times, I will always have fond memories to hold dear.

Tom was a great guy! Lots of fond memories at Howard's Restaurant and Bakery. He loved our stewed tomatoes and mac and cheese, as well as Howard's Mother's sweet pickles as we nicknamed him " Tom Pickles" !
So sorry to hear of his passing. So though we all got to know this quite, yet sincere gentleman!
Virginia, Howard, and Grady Burchell.
Missing someone is not about how long it has been since you have seen them or the amount of time since you have talked.........It's about the moment you are doing something and wishing they were with you. Missing you. Love you, Bye. Nancy and Roger
