the love of his life, Ruth Willis McMullan in 1951.

Tommy spent the majority of his farming career on the Keenan land, where he farmed on halves with them until 2004. He continued to bale hay and run cattle for the remainder of his years.
Tommy was blessed with three daughters. From the time they were old enough to operate a tractor, Tommy had them in the rice fields. He would brag that they could do anything and everything a boy could do on the farms, and they loved it just as much as he did.

That same year the Texas Legislature passed a resolution honoring him upon his 50th year of school board service.

In 2010, he was named City of Liberty Citizen of the Year by the Liberty-Dayton Chamber of Commerce.
