@railcats His voice is the soundtrack of my favorite memories at The Steel Yard. He always stopped to say "hello" to @MichaelOsipoff and me when he entered the press boxy every day during the summer, and on the lucky occasion, he joined us in post-game interviews. Tommy spread joy.

[Gary SouthShore RailCats @railcats]

It is with heavy hearts that we bid farewell to a cherished member of our RailCats family, Tommy Williams. For years Tommy's voice echoed throughout the Steel Yard, energizing fans and players alike with his passionate announcements such as, "People, People, People."
