More detail on this person: Tommy was my first best friend in the early 50's.....but again he was my nearest neighbor a little over a mile away. Last I spoke with him was in 1987 inviting him on the phone to visit with me but he was taking his son Chad to his HS Football playoff game away from San Antonio. He did ask me how my sister Yolanda and that was an insight that he had not forgotten his promise to marry her when he grew up...to wit he loved momma's buttered home made flour tortillas & his best complitment was "Lucy when I grow up I'm going to marry Yolanda" I pray Tommy found Jesus before he died, I know his momma Irene told me it was the best thing that could have happened considering the suffering he was going through. God bless all that read this. - Arnold Ortiz Added: Aug. 23, 2015
