TO THE SPROUSE FAMILY: OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH ALL OF YOU AND KNOW THAT GOD WILL BRING YOU MUCH COMFORT. TOMMY AND I GO BACK ALONG WAYS AS FRIENDS AND ALSO WITH OUR CANCER TREATMENTS. MAY GOD BLESS DOODY & BONNIE MYERS

I've had the pleasure of working for Tom for the past 5 years. He was a gracious, generous employer and a good friend who took great pride in his employees. Everyone who got to know Tom was fond of him and we will miss him greatly. Tom left behind a family strong in their faith in The Lord, and I will continue to pray for them. We should not just be comforted, but rejoice, knowing he is now with his Lord and Saviour, and I look forward to being reunited with Tom when I am called home!

All of us at Atlee Signs were saddened by Toms Departure, We always enjoyed his personality and sense of humor. He will be missed.

Dear Family:

It is with great sadness to hear about Tom's passing. He was a wonderful man who brought smiles to many faces including mine. Everyone at Atlee Signs loved Tom for his fun loving way and the kindness that he possessed. May God bless the family during this difficult time.
