Watched their show many times back in the day. Tom and Dick Smothers were funny and worked well together. According to Dick, Tommy's brother, they were very close as the years went by. Dick was very emotional talking about this. RIP Tommy, thanks for the memories.

Super nice man and social with everyone. Talked to him a few times over the years. He lived not far from me. I used to see him the most at the local plaza/park during the annual Vintage Festival. I would also see him at the world-famous pillow fights in Glen Ellen, CA. Ironically, I never met his brother.
I never even realized as a kid watching him and his brother on TV that I would meet and talk to him later in life. We talked a lot about music and the Valley of the Moon. And how much he loved it in the heart of the wine country... Danny

Tommy was my aunt and uncle's neighbor. We spent one Christmas visiting them and Tommy came over and joined us. He was just a regular guy. Sorry to hear of his passing.

Watched them quite a bit on their show. Always a good laugh with them.
As said many times, RIP Tommy
