I did not know Tommy personally, but was very impressed with his generosity at the 2021 National. Tommy found several unusual ways to encourage displayers and dealers, like refunding the sales table fees (just to name one). I had a very memorable experience at the Farmington show. It was one more time to visit collectors that I have know for many years. It was also the last time I got to kid with Troy Evans. I was hoping for another Farmington show, maybe a Regional. Tommy and Lou Hall were amazing show hosts. Rest in peace Tommy.
