Tommy recently retired from the DEA after 22 years of service. He previously held various other positions around the Northern Virginia area. He also worked for Woodward & Lothrop for 17 years.
In addition to fishing, Tommy loved the outdoors. He would spend many hours hiking in Prince William Forest Park.
He also spent many enjoyable days at the beach with family and friends. Easter was an especially fond time as he would gather with family and friends at his home. He loved all animals but especially treasured time with his dogs, Nellie and Buddy.
Preceded in death by his brother Hans and father Thomas, Tommy is survived by his loving wife Karen Sue of Midland, his Mother Inge Wertz from Germany, Step-Father Bernie Wertz from Pennsylvania, Sisters Susan Kearney and Sandra Lee LaBanca as well as several nephews and nieces. He left a legacy of lifetime friends.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to the SPCA or Prince William Forest Park.
A celebration of Tommy’s life will be held at a future date
