Thomas Stanley Somnis, Jr.
Thomas (Tommy/ Wonger) Stanley Somnis, Jr., left this world peacefully on Monday, August 25 with his daughters, Sarah and Becca and niece, Sarena at his side. Tommy dealt with health issues for decades and a brief battle with cancer used up the last of his 9 lives. Naturally, the medical miracle defied the odds one last time to get home to his cabin where he was certain he wanted to be at the end of his life. Upon arrival from a 2-week hospital stay he went for a ride in his “new” Model A car on the back roads which included a stop at Dyers Lake and had a campfire with friends. The 40 (as he called it) once served as an unofficial community meeting space was once again a flurry of activity with visitors, his kids and grandkids. The circle driveway at the cabin almost looked like a parade with dust that barely settled for days. The parking lot and hearts of his caretakers were full.
