Not sure what to say?


You are not forgotten, friend.

You are missed friend...

I just learned of Tom's passing. He & I were at the Univ. of Tampa together & dated briefly in our freshman year. He was a great guy, lots of fun and just a wonderful person in general. He's going to be missed by many.

Dear Tonya and Tommy Jr., Matthew, and Nicholas: My heart goes out to all of you. Tom's friendship to me and many others from our beloved UT (University of Tampa) was wholesome, deep, and full of love, adventure, and lots of laughs. My wish for you boys is that you always can find your own world of love from family, a special loved one, adventures/travels with friends, and that you will have lots of laughter. Laughter at yourself, laughter at the ridiculousness of the world, and laughter with...

I recall many great memories with Tom back at the University of Tampa. He had infectious laugh, and a smile that lit up the room. Even his bad jokes were funny. Tom was a kind and caring person. So sorry to hear of his passing. Deepest sympathies to family and friends.

My deepest condolences to the Ilderton family and friends. Tommy was one of the best. We've lost another one of the best men I've known in my life far to soon. From his sense of humor, to his loyalty, to his willingness to help anyone he ever came in contact with. I will truly miss my dear friend. My God Bless you Tommy and welcome you home. Until we meet again, rest peacefully . Your friend, Charlie.

My deepest sympathies to the Ilderton family. Tom was a wonderful coworker and devoted father. He will be missed by all those fortunate to know him.

My deepest condolences on the loss of Tom. He was a co-worker and I always enjoyed hearing about his sons, who he clearly loved beyond measure.

Tom's love of his three sons and the Scouts was always evident in conversations. My sympathies for your loss
