On April 3rd, I lost my dearest friend, and a person that I truly loved. I met Tommy, 6-7-1997, and would have never thought that walking into a fish store would allow me to meet a person that would have such a profound impact on my life. Always positive, and only meant good. My lady once said you can spend all day with Tommy because I will know you're not doing anything you have no business doing. We even did a couple ACA Fish Conventions together. I feel like part of my soul is missing. I told his wife that in the past 5 days Tommy told me how much he loved me more than he told me in the past 23 years. I hope that I had an impact on his life. I truly wish everyone could meet a Tommy Brown. Tommy, I love you, and I want you to rest well.
