Tom and I first met in the mid-1980s, he was with Cowin Equipment and I was with a manufacturer, later enjoying that same relationship when Tom was at Warrior. I also knew his father Grover. Tom and Grover were cut from the same cloth. Tom was such a stand up guy, a solid man who never had to look over his shoulder.

I worked with Tom on large contractors and his professionalism was amazing and well above anyone i worked with. I will miss our regular conversations and my BAMA buddy. I know your with Jesus and thats the best.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

My sincere condolences to the Tate family. Shiree I´m very sorry for your loss. I considered Tom a good friend. Tom always had time to just chat with me.

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.

Offering my condolences for the Tate family and friends: May the peace of God comfort and strengthen you through this most difficult time.
