Tommie was a loving man of God and was loved by many. Tommie was known for his love of Christ. He was always involved with the church and loved gospel music. Tommie enjoyed meeting new people and never missed an opportunity to share the gospel. He would ask strangers if they had a church and wouldn’t hesitate to offer his own church. Tommie was a deacon at New Life Assembly, which he also helped build.

Throughout Tommie’s life, he had many business endeavours in Linden and Ore City, some of which are still around today.

Tommie began work at Lone Star Steel in 1953 and retired from there in 1986.

After retirement, Tommie continued to run his own auto sale business, but his greatest accomplishment was his family and friends.

Tommie was preceded in death by his first wife of 49 years, Alta Ray Lassiter; daughter, Wanda Graham; and step-sons, Randy Tubb and Edward Tubb, Jr.
