The Mayor. That's what we who live on SW 51st ST called Tommy Youngman. When a storm was blowing, and in the aftermath, there he'd be out patrolling on foot or in his truck, checking on things for all of us, letting us know how everything was going, how bad the storm might be, and when the power might come back. Across years of my wife's declining health, he did so many good turns for us, I lost count. I remember plates of his delicious cooking he'd bring by when he was cooking up a storm (the good kind of storm) for this or that occasion. And just talking, just standing on the street in the evening sharing how the week went, what the weather was. Tommy was my very good neighbor, and friend. Our street has an emptiness to it now that will not be filled.
Wow, it's really hard to believe that Tommy has left us. If you knew Tommy very well, you'd have to agree that to know him is to love him. Even though Tommy & I met due to me starting to date Kim, his ex-wife, we ended up being great friends (all three of us). The things that made Tommy - Tommy was his charm, fun-loving spirit, and caring heart. No matter how busy he was, he'd stop what he was doing and come over to give you a hand if you needed it. He always had a smile and a sort of mischievous look on his face that made you wonder what he was up to. He was a great guy, good friend, and loved him like a Brother. You will surely be missed my friend... you left us way too soon. Kim and I are still in shock... it just hasn't sunk in that we can't just give him a call. Rest in peace and God be with you Tommy!
To know Tommy Youngman was to love him. What a guy...always smiling, joking, and ready in a heart beat to come help you when you need it. Even though Kim and I met and got married not long after their divorce...he and I almost immediately became great friends. What I think I liked most about Tommy was that he had such a fun loving and forgiving heart.Tommy my friend, you've left us all with sad hearts with your sudden departure. You will surely be missed, but will live on in our thoughts and memories. God bless and rest in peace my dear friend.
So many 'Thank You's' - enough can not be said. Known Tommy over thirty years and could set here all night writing about him. Let it be known he did not suffer and will be under the protection of our Lord until the end when we will all meet again. I have had the opportunity to be in His hands several times and He has allowed me to stay for reasons I am not certain. In your prayers remember to thank our Lord for knowing Tom.
