I met Tom during his time at UA and can honestly say he was one of the most pleasant and helpful/gentlemanly sincere people I ever had the pleasure of knowing and dealing with - he bailed me out re expediting UA shipping activities during the early day's of the space program's in Huntsville . I will most certainly pray for your family as I remember " A Good Man "
God Bless

Beth, Brad, and Ben, we are so very sorry for your loss. Tom and Pinkie were such wonderful people and good friends. We shared many good times with them. Tom, for many years, was my go-to man any time I needed help with travel arrangements. He always had a smile on his face and was willing to help. We will never forget all the fun we had with the Uptons at Fort Wilderness!
We are out of town and unable to attend the service, but we will be thinking about all of you and praying that...

Tom's engaging personality was always accompanied by a slight smile which won him many friends. He was always a part of the Huntsville airline community. It was a joy to work with him at United Airlines and to have continued a friendship many years after. I was always amazed at how many people Tom knew in Huntsville. He will be missed by all and especially his friends.
