, AL Sunday, September 27, 2015 The harvest Moon tonight made me think of a very special man that came into my life many years ago. Was thinking of us dancing to Neil Young's harvest Moon and the letter. Tommy was a wonderful person. Sure gone be missed. All my love Donna.Betty Gail Creed
Cottonwood, AL Monday, December 1, 2014 My heart just skipped a beat. Mr Young was a man I dearly looked up to and will always hold great respect for him. I learned more about work ethics and nose-to-grind from Mr Young than I have from any other boss. Id send him, even years after I left CBC, a Boss's card on bosses day. To me, he will be forever remembered as the the hardest working boss Ive ever known. As a human, I seen him as a man that deserved respect, a man with a vision that he continued to see thru and as a man who loved his family dearly. He was always fair and honest with me. He knew how to correct and to teach without criticizing nor belittleing. Yes, I respect Mr Young. His passing leaves a hole in the world of true 'Working Men'. Time to rest. R.I.P.Teresa Horn Fowler
