Coach Hosford. A man of many talents and someone who will be truly missed. Thoughts go out to his family. He inspired so many individuals like me not only in the sport of basketball but through his contagious upbeat personality and ability to always put a smile on your face. - Thoughts and Prayers

I send my sincere sympathy to Karen, Michael and Thomas. I have many enjoyable memories of Tom at Parkside Elem. He was a fun-loving guy and great PE teacher who loved his students and colleagues. You can take solace in the fact that Tom was a Christian whose family was important to him. He will be missed by many.

Coach Hosford was my #1 favorite coach for all he taught me on and off the court in my basketball career as my AAU coach traveling all over Michigan for some big wins over 30 years ago! We will all cherish that smile and voice of wisdom
