Below are a few words from Mr. Tommy’s Blanchard family.
Thomas Gary Martin Jr (Mr. Tommy) started at Blanchard Machinery in Summerville in 2001 and spent the last 22 years serving customers on the parts counter. He will be remembered by customers and coworkers as a hard-working man with a fun sense of humor, a spicy attitude, and a caring heart. Mr. Tommy was willing to help anyone; he was known for being dependable, quick witted, and giving nicknames to those he deemed fit. He loved talking about his pit crew days and bantering back and forth with his counter-mates. Mr. Tommy will be missed dearly by his Blanchard Machinery family and all the customers he helped and served. We will honor his memory by striving for the same excellence in customer service as he demonstrated every day.
He is survived by his brothers, Robert Dale Rowland (Pat) and William Martin; and sister, Joyce Owens.
