In addition to working with Uncle Bobby as part of Pembroke Timber Company, He was known for his ability in the game of golf.  For over 60 years, he has played golf all over North and South Carolina and anywhere else that he could, on any and every course and tournament that his golfing buddies could get to.  He was often considered an “A player” and was well respected as one of the finest players around.  He was always welcomed and dearly loved as a player and as a friend. 

Regardless of who you were or where you were from, once you got around Mr. Tommy, you knew just how much he liked to joke, to laugh, to eat, to play golf and to lift up others around him.  He truly was a pleasure to be around and will continue to be loved and very much missed by us all.
