Tommy who I sometimes referred to as Mr T or simply T was my friend who became my brother in law.
I had a natural and effortless relationship with Tommy and miss him.
When I first got to know T he came across to me as a mellow chilled dude but a little below this exterior lurked a more vibrant black humoured soul with this laugh at times that cracks me up to this day when I think about it.
He used to sometimes give "a look" which summarised certain situations that really used to tickle me.
His inner strengths shone through especially in his last couple of years with us.
He carried on going to work in defiance of his illness.
I suppose it was his way of sticking his two fingers up at it.
He kind of took it in his stride in an innocent kind of way.
This is where his bravery and courage came to the fore and remained.
T you did yourself proud man.
