Tee,
You will be sorely missed. to be absent in the body means being present with the Lord. The 80s were truly that Navy Marine team at NAS Atlanta.

Dad you were the best man I have ever and will ever know. One thing I will never do is regret anything or forget what I have been taught. No one is perfect but if Ive seen anything closed to it, it was you. Time for me to become that leader. Jamal and mom are well taken care of. No worries. Tell God, Grandma, Harrice and Jame I said what up. See you again one day. All love

T-Bone, I didn't even know this book was online until Michelle told me. I've been checking on her and she's gonna be okay. I don't know if you ever knew how much you meant to me so I'm gonna say it now. I'm a better father because of you. I'm a better employee because of you and I'm a better friend because of you. You were one great guy and I am blessed to have known you. You were lucky too. Michelle is beautiful!!! I never saw you happier than when you were with her. May you rest in peace. Carson

Tee,
To know you is to love you and i'm glade I had the chance to do both. It's still hard to believe that you're gone. I have nothing but good memories that I will cherish forever. I will always remember that smile. I miss talking to you but most of all I miss you so much. You will always have a place in my heart. May you rest in peace,

Clarence "T-Bone" Tiller, my very best friend. We were blessed with the opportunity to share moments in time and space as both friends and warfighters "Navy Marine Corps Team". The family gatherings, meals, conversations and laughter we shared added value to our maturing lives -- we all benefitted from your optimism, motivation, never say never attitude and unselfishness. Many of our conversations culminated in one bottom-line endstate, happiness in this universe and beyond. J.T. and Jamal are strong young men, with solid foundations, and the men you surrounded them with will advises and protect.
You still owe me 25 pushups, you still need to practice your golf swing – man we miss you and look forward to seeing you soon.

Tee had his tool box next to mine at Marta for a while. I got to know him and he was indeed a kind person who would always help you. You couldn't ask for anything else in a friend. He was always helping his sons with what they needed. You will be missed.

"MR. T", as Tee was known to me, was a dear friend who treated me very much like a "Mom". We became close as soon as he and Michelle fell in love. He never missed the chance to pay me a compliment or to remember an occasion. I am already missing his sweet smile and charming ways and how he fit so well into our family. MR."T" will be missed for a long, long time. Surely now he's in a much better place. Ms. Madelon
