He was preceded in death by his parents; and one sister, Patsy Vinson. Tommie was a life-long resident of the area and a 100% Disabled Army veteran, serving his country in the Vietnam Era. He was a logger, owned and operated Williams Service Station in Heavener for several years, and was a cattle and poultry farmer. Tommie was an avid hounds man and coyote hunter. He had suffered a lot in the past two years and it just finally came to a halt. He has passed through the golden gates of Heaven to wait for his family and friends. See you later, Pop.
