My sincere sympathies to all of Tom's family and friends. He was a wonderful guy, dedicated, intelligent, hard working, down to earth, funny and talented in so many ways. He was the best Food and Beverage Director that Natural Bridge of VA. ever had. He was truly a great man and will be missed by many. He taught me plenty and I will never forget him. God Bless him!

To the entire family, I think of all of you often. My prayers and heartfelt emotions are with you in this difficult time. Shared some wonderful and fun times with Tommy. After all this time still cherish the relationships with a family that treated me like one of their own. Love, Reid

My heart was saddened when I heard of Tommy's passing at such a young age.
My prayers and empathy go out to you, your family, and his close friends. He was such an energetic, jovial, and intelligent guy in the years I was with him in school at Prospect in the 8th grade and throughout high school. I know he will be missed greatly and I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers that God Himself will be your Comforter.
