Not sure what to say?

We are very sorry for just finding out about your loss. May God be with each of you. You are all in our prayers.

It was both friendship at 1st sight with Tommy and I at the 05' reunion @ Pensacola, FL. He was a gentle giant of a man and a person who loved helping all those he came in contact with. I will miss his great emails and smiling face at the reunions.

Rest in Peace dear friend.

I was blessed to have Tommy for a friend. I once asked him why he thought that people became friends. Tommy said that he thought a true friend was simply a gift from God to help us on our journey through life. God was good to me, he gave me Tommy. As I continue the journey, my friend remains with me in my heart.

The world has lost a beautiful man. I met Mr. Sanders once, but communicated with him several times about his goals and dreams to build his charitable foundation. His personality and zest for life were heartfelt. He genuinely cared about people, especially those in need. Mr. Sanders will be greatly missed by all who have had the pleasure of meeting him, even if it was just one time.

DR. MARC, ANADA, AND FAMILY,
I WAS SORRY TO HEAR OF THE LOSS OF YOUR FATHER, HE WAS SUCH A PLEASANT, FUN, GENTLEMAN, IN THE SHORT TIME THAT I KNEW HIM, I LOVED TO TEASE AND JOKE WITH HIM. HE HAD A GREAT SENSE OF HUMOR. I KNOW HE WILL BE MISSED BY SO MANY. PLEASE KNOW THAT YOU ALL HAVE BEEN IN MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS AND YOU WILL CONTINUE TO BE IN THE DIFFICULT DAYS TO COME. HAVING LOST MY FATHER 2 YEARS AGO, I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE FEELING, BE ASSURED THAT TIME HELPS, BUT KNOW THAT HE IS WITH...

I worked with Tommy from 1992-1997 at Ft. Worth Center on a NASA program. He was one of the most ethical and friendly people I have ever met. I didn't know anyone that didn't like and get along with Tommy. He will be missed be all.

My fa

Tommy was a wonderful contributor to our efforts in improving his profession of air traffic control. I remember his kindness in explaining and describing his considerable knowledge to us here at MIT Lincoln Laboratory. Sorry for your loss and may God bless you all.

Tom and I worked together for several years on the NASA project. He was not only a really nice man but a true professional. Our deepest sympathy to the Sanders family.

Dear Margaret and boys,

Rob and I were your neighbors on Rosebud Ln in the early 70's.

Do you remember your Dad used to retrieve you boys from the roof of your house when you were little tykes. Seemed to be your favorite place to play.

Your Dad also physically carried us (Rob too) across the street the night Rosebud Ln flooded because it was safe haven at the Sander's house...then helped move our furniture to safety.
