Tommy was a truly a showman. He and Struppi produced a number of shows for the Great Circus Parade in Milwaukee. He will be missed. My condolences go out to Struppi and Nellie.

As has been said about a very select few and now we sadly say about Tommy Hanneford: Never before and never again.
God bless a true showman.
With love and deepest sympathy to Struppi and family,

Paul and Diane

I'm stunned. It's hard to know what else to say.

Tommy Hanneford - Circus King and Number One Circus Fan. Our hearts go out to Struppi and the entire Royal Hanneford Circus Family. And especially to Nellie and her Family...Tommy would always ask me two questions each time that I would call in while working ahead of the show from a new town...How's the Box Office? And do they have HANNEFORD on the MARQUEE? WE can forever say, "Yes Tommy the Box Office is off to an excellent start" and "The Hanneford name is on the MARQUEE".

Tommy was a true friend. I can't imagine the American Circus without him.
