Tommy Jones….FHS 1966

Posted by Kaye ‘63 on April 14, 2025, 10:52 pm

Shocked and very saddened to read this. I had a nice long chat with Tom at a Bearcat gathering at Foothills in Forest not too long ago. He was in the FHS Class of 1966 and had a younger brother John who is a dentist in North MS. I believe Tom was a pharmacist. Condolences to his family and friends.

Saddened to hear about Tommy. We had several good conversations at the Nabs parties. Rest easy my friend.

Here are two Bearcats who are no longer with us. Tommy Jones and John Allen Roby. They are doing what is so special to Bearcats…catching up with each other and crossing the age gap! We do enjoy each other. I’m pretty sure this was last July At Foothills in Forest. The others are Harry Culpepper in yellow. And Robert Hays is in the background behind Harry. I really can’t see the others well enough to name but someone might be able to.

Such sad news. Tommy and I lived in the same neighborhood growing up. We were friends first though twelveh grades. Always enjoyed visiting with him at the reunions. Praying for his family.
