Tom made everyone he came in contact with feel like they mattered. He was always friendly, a good listener, with a great sense of humor. We feel honored that we got to spend so many wonderful times with him. He will never be forgotten, and we will continue praying for this awesome family.

Dear Carole, Tami, and family,
I can barely express my sorrow as I sit here and think about the years since I first met all of you and how much fun, laughter, and memories I have. I can never think of Tom without thinking of his joy in reminding me of the "special dinner" I prepared for all of us. I cannot imagine your lives without him but pray that God will guide you through this difficult time. Love to all of you.

I have known and done business with Tom for 25 years, and what a great man to do business with. On a personal level he's one of those guys you just love to hang around with because you knew he had principles. He always had a smile and I was sure we would have a good laugh together. A real brother. Tom, I'll miss you.
