Tommy Sharp
March 20, 1945 — November 2, 2011
After a brave battle with cancer, the Good Lord called Tommy G. Sharp age 66, of Lorena home on Wednesday November 2, 2011 with his family by his side. Graveside services will be 10AM Monday November 7, 2011 at Waco Memorial Park. Visitation will be from 4PM to 6PM Sunday afternoon November 6, 2011 at Grace Gardens Funeral Home Chapel.
Tommy was born on March 20, 1945 in Gatesville, TX to William and Dannie Mae Sharp. He met the love of his life, Barbara Blanton and they married on October 12, 1963. He worked 14 years for George Grubbs Volkswagon and was known for his talent of working on foreign and domestic vehicles. With this talent, he opened his own Automotive shop which he ran for 15 years. After retirement he and Barbara ran a licensed home day care center for 15 years. Tommy loved to fish and passed this on to his sons and grandson who spent many joyful times together on the bank reeling the fish in. Tommy’s artistic side was shown in the small metal creations he made and shared with many family and friends.
He was preceded in death by his parents Mr. and Mrs. W.P. Sharp.
Tommy is survived by his loving wife Barbara 48 years; two sons Larry Sharp and his wife Sylvia of Lorena and Darrell Sharp and his wife JoAnne of Durango; a grandson Kevin Sharp of Lorena. Two brothers William Sherrill Sharp of Grandbury, TX and Michael Sharp of Oklahoma. Three sisters Betty Sue McCleary and her husband, Gerald, Patsy Ann Patrick and his husband, Stanley of Woodway and Deborah Jarvis and her husband Mark of Speegleville and several nieces and nephews. As the family grew and changed over the years, Tommy also graced the lives of Elaina and Erica Graybill as well as Jenny and Stephanie Alonso and six great grand children.
The family would like to send a special thank you to the loving staff of Providence Hospice. In lieu of flowers memorials may be made to Providence Hospice.
