My Most Sincere Condolences To Tom's Family, I had the Honor and Privilege of knowing Tom Tate, Sr. for many years, and working with him at Warrior Tractor as an allied attachment vendor to him & his company, Not enough can be said for Tom and how he treated others with respect, kindness, and understanding, the World and the Construction Equipment Market will surely miss a Grand Individual as Tom was to everyone

Tom was such a great guy. I started in the construction business 41 years ago. He was one of the first vendor guys I met and was so nice. Smiled and cut up a lot. He brought joy and ease to any situation. God Bless.

I met Tom through our working together in the equipment business. I was the factory guy that worked with Tom on sales projects. I truly enjoyed working with Tom and we became good friends. We enjoyed texting back and forth about our favorite College teams. As was said before Tom was always had a positive outlook and his customers were also his friends it made working together fun. I will truly miss our conversations.
