Mr. Tom Corley was a good man. An examplary collegue. His knowledge and patience was truly a gift to Oconee Medical Center. It is with great sadness I watched him pass. His example will always be remembered in my heart. Rest in Peace.

Karen,
I am so sorry to hear about Tommy. I have some fun memories from back in the 80's when all of us use to play cards at his grandmother's house and do fun stuff on the week-ends. I remember when Tommy fell when we went ice skating or rollerskating and he had to sit on a donut for a week because he bruised his rear end so bad. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Tom was a client of mine, but became a close friend. He was one of the nicest people I ever met. I lost my daughter last year to cancer, so I understand the pain you're going through. I'll keep Tom and his family in my prayers.

Tom was a wonderful man who cared about everyone he met. He was always the life of the party! He worked hard and played hard. He left a huge positive impact on everyone he came into contact with. He battled for several years with his cancer and endured massive suffering just to ensure that everyone would be ok and well taken care of. Tom left behind such a great legacy as well as a dedicated beautiful wife, two well educated beautiful daughters, a dear loving sister and brother in-law, a wonderful loving sister in-law and many family and friends. Tom, you will never be forgotten and we are saddened to see you leave us but relieved that you are now at peace with no more pain and suffering. We love you very much!

So sorry to hear of your loss. I spent many fun days with Tommy during our school years. I have and will carry those memories forever. (He was my first "car ride with a boy" LOL) We lived very close and shared snow days and bus rides. He was a good friend.
