He was an active member of Silver Creek Baptist Church, where he was a deacon.

Mr. Brumfield was active in the fight against cystic fibrosis after his family learned of his great-grandson’s CF diagnosis in 1999. He initiated the Cystic Fibrosis Charity Gold Tournament held each year since 2002 at the Fernwood Country Club. It will be held on March 26, with the help of friends. Those who have helped with the tournament are James Brumfield, Norwood Bultman, Ronnie Frazier, Anthony Sassone, Jerry Stogner and Russ Stogner.

Mr. Brumfield never met a stranger and will be greatly missed by those who knew him fondly as Mr. Tommy, Grandpa and Paw Paw.
