Not sure what to say?

So sad to hear of Tom's passing. What a prince of a guy that I had the pleasure of being a coworker with and playing on Yellow Freight Systems softball team. May you rest in peace my friend, you will never be forgotten.

Surrounding your entire family with prayers and support. Tom leaves an amazing legacy.

Tom raised a family that was the envy of all that knew him, I'm sure of it. The love and adoration he embodied for all of his children and grandchildren, his loving wife Louise, and his community set a standard for which we will all strive to match. While the world will fill the lack, his legacy remains as strong as a mountain in the distance.

I will always be thankful for his faith he put into Goodwill to support his amazing son, Tim, and his belief in me to always welcome me...

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. Tom was one of my best friends-could not ask for any better-he was such a caring Christian man. I've known him for many years thru working at Yellow Freight Company-and also going to Chiefs games-and enjoying his wonderful ribs-You are all in our hearts and prayers

I want to tell you thank you Thomas for keeping our country safe. Also thank you for all the sacrifices you have made for our country for me and for all of us so each and everyone of us can have our freedom.

Rest in peace you fine servant of Christ.

This world is a better place because of Tom. I remember him as a loving and devoted father and grandfather of Tim, Ethan and Gavin at our judo club.

All of our family's prayers and condolences to you!

We love you so much Papa. Please know you are dearly missed by so many. Also, not sure how you knew our next baby is a boy, but you knew even before we did somehow. That’s a memory I will always treasure. All our love, the Vaupels.
