There is a headstone for Tommie on the "Tablets of the Missing" at the Manila American Cemetery in Manila, The Phililppines. Tommie's plane was shot down over New Guinea and his body was never recovered. There is a headstone but no grave at Mount Calvary UMC.

War is a terrible thing. It takes our young men cuts their lives short. That happened with you, Tommie. But you were never forgotten. We, all of us, have loved you through the years. You had no children of your own flesh, but you had 3 by heart. You live on in our hearts and lives and in our children as well. We cherish the momentos we have from you and the things you crafted. Each letter from you, carefully preserved. Each little carved cage, or belt, or boomerrang, cherished. We know you could walk through the woods in the driest days of fall and leave no trace, but the footprints you left on our hearts continue through the generations and are passed along as strongly as any gene could be passed! I Love You, Tommie! The Father I should have had. Suzanne
