Inspiring leader . Fiend , a life well lived.

I lived next door to Tommy for a couple of years at the SAE house. Some good memories of a great guy. Phi Alpha, Brother. Prayers for his family.

I had the pleasure of knowing Tommy while at Auburn and again in law school. He was outstanding at both schools and I will always have great memories of him, the person he was and his friendship. I am so saddened by your loss as well as the so many he befriended throughout his life. What a great person he was and one to always be remembered

Peaceful Reflections

To the Eden family, Tommy was a wonderful person. I eagerly looked forward to attending his presentations at the SAPAA conference, he was so kind, knowledgeable, and patient. I'm saddened by his loss and pray for your comfort during this special time of breavement.

Tommy was a major influence in my professional life, and even more specially a great friend.

Sandra, Drew and Luke: My sincere condolences on the death of Tommy. We were in the same High School class, at Cumberland Law at the same time, Scout Troop and he was one of my few friends of over 50 years. Please let me know if there is anything I may do for you?

Tommy helped hundreds of employers start drug-free workplace programs that prevented accidents and injuries and offered help for troubled workers. I have no doubt this saved many lives. I was lucky to be his friend. I will miss him.

I am very saddened at Tom´s passing. He was a good friendly and an excellent lawyer. It was my good fortune to practice law with Tom early in his career at the Birmingham firm of Spain Gillon. He was a great fellow to work with. My sincere condolencies to Sandra and her family. Bert Nettles
