THOMAS FRANKLIN AUTRY

To know Tom (Thomas) was to love Tom. I don't believe he ever met someone he could not communicate with. What a role model for the boys (that are all fine men today) he was. Also a pretty darn good basketball coach. He came from a great family setting and established the same for his name. Love you Tom and will see you soon.

So sorry to hear about Tommy passing away. You and your family have our deepest sympathy and prayers for comfort and strength as you walk through this valley. Love and prayers,

Jayne and girls. So sorry about my friennd Tom. Remember all the Christmas Eves when we put puzzles together and he would hide the last piece. He will always be in my heart. I will never forget him. Love to all the family..Joanne Smith Pirkle Wright

Take comfort in knowing that now you have a special guardian angel to watch over you. Tom was special to so many, I consider myself fortunate to have known him. You are all in my prayers.

Jayne, I am so sorry you have lost your dear Tom. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. On March 8 my husband died, so I know the sadness you are feeling. May you gain strength from the prayers of family and friends.

Oh how many wonderful memories were made at the Autry household. What a blessing both Tom and Jayne were on all those Raleigh Ave. Youth choir trips. The only things I remember about Tom are he was a man of leadership, he loved the Lord, he had a great sence of humor, he loved his family and everbody else's family, and I could keep going but I better leave some room for someone else. Tom heaven is a better place and you are healed but you will so be missed by your friends and family. To...

One of the first people I met when I got to Birmingham from Mississippi. Tom was always there for me in so many ways.,I only regret we didn't spend enough time together After we settled down. Tom was a friend to all. I never knew him to have an enemy. He will be missed .

Anyone who ever met Tom Autry--'loved' him as a friend. A great friend, coach, mentor, and yes a good cook. We could leave our teenagers with Tom and knew that would be taken care of. Jane and the girls have some great memories.
RIP

Bo and I are thinking of your family; we have you in our prayers. We never got to know Mr. Tom well, but such a fine family is a testament to his love and devotion.
Love, Bo and Patsy Bosarge
