Not sure what to say?

We met Tom several years ago through my cousin Jim Lyle. He and Tom had evidentially been friends for a long time. It was during a period when my two boys were young and we had a habit of coming down to camp on the Lyle farm. It wasn't too long until Tom had become a real hospitable person and I realized that he was truly a good friend to my cousin and my uncle.
We shared a lot of good times mostly picken guitars around the camp fire or over at the cafe. We kind of stayed in touch over...

tom was a good friend of mine and my whole family.he wrote a song about my dad frank pittman who died at limestone colege may 21 1995 .. he will be missed by everyone

I met Tom many years ago when we were in a play, The Foreigner, at the Gaffney Little Theatre. He was a good actor and became a friend who always greeted me with a big hug. I still remember when he came riding in on his cycle with his dog. RIP old friend. God bless the family with peace and understanding.

Tom, came by my shop yrs ago to visit my husband, they worked together (i say as trash masters)Tom was his dispatcher.He latter came by our home in SC, that's when I met "Horrible".Tom told me where to find a good deal on chicken feed. For me he was a "Kindly Gentleman" I really liked his sense of humor. Our thoughts & Prayers go out to his Family & Friends.

We will miss Tom around our Holiday table, the gathering of friends will never be the same. Tom's big heart was always overflowing with love for his parents, friends and his constant companion "Horrible" (his blue healer). Everyone who was privileged to know him will miss his soft tunes and insight into life. Rest in peace Tom you have earned it.

I only knee him from coming in the store where I work, I really enjoyed him! Seemed like a big cuddly teddy bear!!! I will miss seeing him!!!!

My wife and I sat at a table right next to Tom as he sang me at the Buttermilk Antique shop in Cowpens just a couple weeks ago. I will always cherish that memory. We will miss Tom very much.

Rest in peace Tom. Thanks for many laughs, smiles and well-turned songs.
