Tommy and I worked together for 10 years before he retired from Unifi. I have never met a person who took care of his brother the way Tommy did. Tommy was a very special man. We at Unifi grieve the loss of a good friend. Gone but not forgotten.

Leon & I,
Knew Tommy and Doug many, many years. They would come to our home for Thanksgiving and even Christmas Dinner. We become friends with them after their Mom passed away.
We enjoy both of them so much. They both passed away within 10 months so sad...I know the boys are reunited with their Mom now.
We loved them both very much
