I can’t say I knew Mr Tommy well but I can tell the quality of the man just by knowing the kids he and his sweet wife raised into outstanding adults! That doesn’t happen by accident! I am honored to call them my friends.

So sorry to hear of Mr. Herod’s passing. Worked with him in the MSNG. I was in Jackson and traveled to Camp McCain many times to work with him. A professional in many ways and a pleasure to have known him for many years.
