I am just learning of Tommy(TJ)'s passing. We had lost touch but he always stood out in my mind as one of the most enthusiastic, dedicated, and loyal leaders I have ever known. While it was over forty years ago that I worked for Tommy, I still remember him as a magnificent leader. I never looked at TJ as a boss, as his stature was much more than that. He will be greatly missed! I pray for God's Blessings on Judi and Tommy's family.

After working for Tommy for 26 years and knowing him for 37 years I can only say he was a great friend that will be missed by many. The phone calls I have had with Tommy every few weeks since retiring was a part of my life that was so enjoyed and will be missed greatly.

We will never know how many young people Tommy affected thru McDonalds I believe it would be a couple of thousand. The Fifty years I knew him he was always upbeat and loved his family.

Mr. Jordan really impacted my life in a positive way. The story is too long to tell, but this is a true loss for our community. He was an incredibly nice person, as is his wife. My sincere sympathies to your family. I will pray for you.
