He graduated from Bishop England High School in 1967 and served his country in Vietnam shortly thereafter. Upon discharge from the Army, he entered The Citadel as a veteran student and graduated in 1974 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration. Tommy and Teresa were married on June 16, 1973, and enjoyed 44 years of marriage. He will be remembered fondly by all those he worked with at the Charleston Air Force Base in Federal Civilian Service with the 628th Medical Group for 21 years. The family would like to send a very special thank you to all the wonderful doctors and nurses at the Charleston Veteran’s Administration Hospital who gave him such amazing care for many years. Tommy is survived by his wife, Teresa; two children, Toby Scaffe (Anna) and Kristen Parris (Gregory); and his four grandchildren: Banks, Mary Kirk, Ellie and Avery. He will be sorely missed and always remembered.
