Thomas Albert Chisman,

My name is Jeff norsetter Tom and I celebrated our birthdays together we were both born on Dec.2 and lived 3 houses away from each other he had a drumset in the back bedroom in the house in the alley we sat in that room and beat those drums till we couldn't hear anything we had lots of fun growing up on the same block we were good friends in the70s and 80s and I'll never forget him he lived life with gusto r.I.p Tom

The sothside nick name for Tommy was " what it is,Chis"

From Colleen McConley Another South-sider gone. I grew up on Olin Ave. and knew Tommy all through school. Tommy was always nice, friendly and fun. I never saw him mad or mean the whole time I knew him. Life goes on...and Tommy lives on in memory, as do all of our friends from the Southside who are no longer with us. RIP Tommy.

I remember the old days hanging at the beach with the gang. 1st we lost E.W. real young, then R.H. Now the "Chis" has left us. Tom always carried a positive attitude and didn't have a mean bone in him. We have been out of touch for about 10 years but I was just thinking I would run into him at the Shuffle Inn reunion 2 weeks ago. R.I.P. my friend, Bear

My name is Mark Reinhart ,Tom and I were friends for a long time, our paths crossed many time during the forty plus years we new each other. I resonantly saw him and he said he was doing well. My wife Julie and I also resonantly had our wedding tape made into a DVD which Tom filmed Tom always made me feel important and cared for I will miss him. Our heart goes out to Susan, Toms sister.
