Tommy was a great guy. I first met him at Fannin and remember his folks had the hamburger place down the street on 29th. In fact on a Christmas Wish List Letter that was part of a class prpjecy I ask
Santa to leave a hamburger for Tommy Bond. that comment got me the blue ribbon. Sorry about his passing so young. RIP Tommy.

I was saddened and shocked to hear of Tommy's death. He was one of my dearest friends before Travis and throughout our years at SFA. Sadly, after graduation, we lost contact. He was often in my thoughts, especially when reminiscing about the GOOD OLD DAYS. We loved dancing together and, I'm sure, thought we would be the next Fred Astaire and Ginger Rodgers. Rest in peace dear friend.
