I was so shocked and saddened to learn of Tom's death. I went to high school with him at St. Joe's, and he was always kind and sweet. We hung out together...as part of a larger group. I have many fond memories of him. I've run into Tom over the years, and he was always a pleasure to talk to. Please accept my condolences. I will keep Tom and all of you in prayer.

I only knew Tom for a short while, but he was a great co-worker. He had a smile that would light up the service drive, a great sense of humor, a willingness to help me out with any problems with customers, and a very hard worker. I just can't imagine he is gone. I know he is in a better place but I wont get to see at work anymore. That does break my heart. He spoke a lot of his family and how much he loves them. I will miss him so.

My prayers go out to the family during this time and in the future. He was a great and remembered man from many people and will always be in the hearts of people who were close to him. He was a great father,friend,grandfather and many other things and will never be forgotten for the great things he did for everyone he touched. I loved him dearly as I'm sure everyone else did.. and now we just have to stay strong and remember him for what he did and how he was here and not how it is when he is gone. My love to the entire family. Jessica and Keller
