I just learned of Tommy's passing, and am so very sorry to hear this. He was a lovely man, very kind and thoughtful, and touched my life. I grew up in Conway, and Dayer Jewelers was a real fixture and mainstay of downtown life. I am sorry that Tommy has passed on. My deepest condolences to the Dayer family.

Dear Debbie, Nicole, and Caleb.
I am fortunate to have known Tommy and proud to call him my friend. Tommy was always friendly and kind to my family. We enjoyed living 2 houses down the street.
I recall watching Tommy do what he did best, wash cars, play basketball, visit with neighbors, trade vehicles, and enjoy his family. Tommy was always thinking about others, especially his family. He would do anything to help others. His smile and friendly face was always a blessing.
Knowing that Tommy lived for the Lord is truly the best blessing of all!
If there is anything that I can do to help you, please ask. I would be proud to assist in any way possible.
May God be with you! Know that Tommy is with our Lord, always with us, watching over us, looking down and smiling!
Sincerely,
Doug

Our condolences to Tommy's family. Tommy & I were High School class mates '73-74. Know that he is at peace now. One thing some may not know or remember, I bought a bright blue '72 Pontiac Lemans from Tommy few years after high school, my first car. It was a good deal & I remember he hated to part with it as it was a running machine ! He was good man, rest in peace. Mike

My parents, Charles and Esther, knew Tommy parents, Charlie and Helen, as well as Tommy. They bought a lot of fine jewelry and other things from Dayer Jewelers. As my father, a Marine Veteran from WWII ( Iwo Jima ) got so he could not see well, Tommy was so good with fixing his watches and magnifying thing that attached to the right lens of his glasses. It was similar to Tommy's. Tommy and I were both born in 1955-that was a good year. Even though we have not gone to any visitations or funerals since Daddy died in Oct. of last year (emotionally it would be just to hard for Mom), she and I would like for you to know we are thinking about you and Tommy.

Played all 3 years of Little League Baseball w/ Tommy. He was infield, I was out. We lost Greg Sawrie several years ago, now Tommy. Also lost these of our team managers, Cecil Harris, Sr., Dr. Orville Rook, Bill Lacy, Sr., Dr. Hadley Yates.
Mom did Mrs. McCarville, Donna, & Helen's hair for years as well as Mrs. Strack.
I shall miss Tommy, he was a great baseball player, I was not, but we all, as a team, had fun & learned good sportsmanship.
Pitchers were Mickey Reynolds, Mike Stanton, Ricky Daniels.
He was a good guy, a good friend, always upbeat. Sad to hear; but glad he is no longer suffering or in pain.

To all of Tommy's family: I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. I haven't seen many of you in quite a few years and miss our old gatherings around Grandma Mac's birthday celebrations. Now I'm hoping that Tommy is enjoying a wonderful re-gathering with those who've gone before him. I wish I could be with you on Monday. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
With love, Patti (Halter) Richter, Heath, Texas

So Sorry to hear of your loss.
I will always remember how fast Tommy moved up and down the
basketball court during High School at St. Joe.
He wasn't tall, but he had great speed.
He will be missed by so many. We were blessed to have known him. Our prayers are with your family during this difficult time.
