Thomas Franklin Close

May your memories carry you through this difficult time. Sorry to hear of Tom’s passing he was the kindest gentleman I’ve had the privilege of meeting.
He will be greatly missed.

I have had the privilege and honor to know Tom since high school. My best friend, Cathie’s father. Tom and Pat always treated me like part of their family Tom was one of the kindest, compassionate men and I truly adored and looked up to him. Anyone who knows Cathie and Claudia see what truly amazing parents they have raised these two strong willed, hard working, caring women. I am so sad this beautiful man has left this earth. However I know that he will be an angel guarding over so many....

We are so sorry for your loss, Michael always had great things to say about Tom!
With love and sympathy, Michael and Jana Youngblood ❤

Tom was a great friend and wonderful neighbor. His wife and daughters will forever remain treasured memories of a life shared with such an incredible person however brief. His kindness, patience and readiness to do anything was enviable and without exception always expertly undertaken to my amazement. What a rare person Tom was that he could balance his life's work always with time for family and friends. He lived an exceptional life in perfect balance. I feel that I am a better person...

So Sorry for your Lost!

Pat, so sorry about Tom! You two had a marriage that all should emulate. Remember, he will always be with you in your memories. Be sure when we finally have our class reunion to come! You belong to our class of 1960 also. My heart hurts for you but I know you’ll be fine, you are strong and know you are loved.

Pat, I was so sorry to hear about Tom's passing and his fight against this horrible disease. We always enjoyed meeting up with you at the car shows. God bless you and your family during this time of grief.

You’ll surely be missed especially your smile every time I would see you. Your smile warms up and lights up wherever you are. I had the honor to get to know you even just for a short time. But now you earned your wings and it is time for you to rest. You will continue to smile now that you’re suffering no more. Thank
You for letting me take care of you

My Cuzzz A Great One We Will Him
