Thomas E. Hawks

Dearest Alicia:
I know that you already know this, but, just for the record...Tommy was and will always be a huge and special part of our lives. We will always remember the great times we have all spent together whether it was making a trip to Vegas, watching football or just renting a movie and cooking and waaay overeating at each others homes. He will most definitely remain forever in our hearts and minds and as always bring a smile to our faces when we say his name. The one promise...

Alicia,

I met Tom while working here at Univ. of South Alabama and he was assigned to our account. He was a very sincere and special human being. He and I immediately became friends upon meeting the first time we met. Tom was a friend to all, and a stranger to none. He could elaborate on so many subject matters and I realized why he was so good at what he did for Berney Office Solutions. He will be greatly missed and you have my deepest and most sincere prayers of comfort...

Alicia,

Pat Bettineschi called me today to tell me about Tom's passing and I am truly sorry for your loss. Tom truly loved the game and I am sure he is playing the front nine with our Lord and Saviour this morning.
It was a true blessing to have known Tom. He took me under his wing at Canon and help me succeed as he had.
My vocation in life has changed and I now a pilot. On my flight tommorrow morning to Ky I will say hello to Tom in a prayer and thank him for all the...

Alicia and the rest of Tom's family. I have been deeply saddened since John Patzsch called. Tom was a great guy and you are so wonderful. From our days at Canon and beyond, every Tom Hawks story I could tell would make you smile and laugh. He was Mr. Energy, Mr. Golf, Mr. Alabama Football, Mr. Fun and Mr. Great Guy. I see that Cesar has written. They were close friends and co-workers. I know your heart is heavy right now, but I want you to know that I will always remember Tom fondly. ...

To my dear friend,
I will not stand at your grave and weep: you are not there, you do not sleep. You're a thousand winds that blow; You're the diamond glints on snow. You're the sunlight on ripened grain; You're the gentle autumns rain. When I awaken in the morning's hush, You're the swift uplifting rush. Of quiet birds in circled flight. You're the soft star that shines at night. I will not stand at your grave and cry. You are not there; you did not die. You're in God's Loving Care and...

I worked with Tom at Ricoh. He was a classic individual with a quick wit and ready grin. He was a bright light. My condolences to his family. He talked often of his family and loved you all very much.
We has a wonderful, friendly rivalry with the Alabama/LSU games. I will say a prayer an remeber him with a smile when the teams meet this year!

From all of us at the University of South Alabama athletics department, please accept our sincere condolences and our prayers. In a very short time Tom touched our lives and made many friends in our department. He will truly be missed.

Alicia:

Tommy was a sweet funny funny man and we were all blessed to have known him. I will never forget our "borrowed" conversations! I love you and am so sorry for your loss.

Alicia: It's with very heavy heart that I reach out to offer my condolences. Tom was an excellent co-worker and I considered him a good friend. He was a good man, full of life and plenty of fun. My prayers go to you and your family in this difficult moment. He'll be missed. Cesar Borri (St. Cloud, FL)
