Thomas "TomBay" as he was known, was loved by many. He will
always be remembered as a loving husband, father and grandfather.
 He surely will be missed.
Thomas joined West Bottom Baptist Church at a young age. He
retired from Fork Union Military Academy, where he worked there
for over Thirty some years. He loved doing his gardening and mowing
lawns. He thought his riding mower was his Cadillac. He would tend to
his chicken coup and his pigpens, which he tended to often. Can't forget
about his sheds that he made. He loved sipping on a cold one, nose
snotted, crying and singing the Whitney Houston song, " I Will Always Love
You". You couldn't tell him he couldn't sing that song.
Thomas is survived by his daughter Regina Anderson of Washington DC.
Stepsons Gordon Branch of Lake Monticello, Va, Darnell Branch of Maryland

Watkins of New Canton, Va, Mary Ross of Palmyra, Va and Linda Hill of
