What a very nice tribute to Tom. I don't really know him hut from your descriptive words he sounds like a lot of fun.
And you gave this reader a walk down memory lane with your 3 videos.

If I only had a six star left for this! Oh, Debi you out did yourself. It seems like I'm always saying statements like that but it's so true!

Your poem was Tom to a T from knowing him on this site (and I'm glad to know him).

Then, then you throw in the videos.... I'm so glad I read this on my lunch break because I honestly broke out laughing. They are classics!

As always, you nailed it!
Be well. I hope you're feeling better these days!
John

And yet John, I never tire of hearing it. LOL- and I could have added so many more videos from our childhood. I loved Smothers Brothers, "Mom always liked you best." haha!

What a lovely tribute! I do like the way you celebrate the friends you have made here at FanStory. It genuinely is a community. Lovely use of rhyme and rhythm to give us a sense of who Tom is and explore the qualities he brings to the site. Thanks for the share!

What a wonderful birthday tribute to Tom Hornsby, Debi dear. He's going to love this poem and selection of YouTube videos. Some of these I haven't heard in ages! What fun! How sweet and thoughtful of you to honor your friend.

Tom, I hope you have a great birthday and year ahead. God bless you and your beautiful family richly.

Sending blessings to you both across the miles.

I loved this upbeat poem for a delightful FanStrory member. You showed his life so well and his personality was front and center. I like his devotion to his wife, his love of God, and his quirky humor. Thanks for another birthday special!

A fun poem for Tom's birthday. You chose some great humorous music for him. I like that you included lots of interesting information about Tom and Myra. It's good to know that prom date turned into a lifetime together.

I hope you are feeling a bit better this week. Blessings & prayers. Carol

Debi, this is an excellent poem for Tom. I was reading along and agreeing and smiling with almost everything you wrote until I got to the songs. And then I burst out laughing...Yep, that's Tom! LOL, Excellent. Terry.
