Not sure what to say?

Tom Rhea Phillips is one of those men that you try to pattern yourself after. I see J.T. called him a Southern Gentleman. Yes, he was that and a healer, and a motivator, and an example to all men whose lives he touched. Thank you Dr. Phillips for being someone we could all look up to.

One of the kindest people I ever knew. He was a friend to our family. I loved him very much.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

We're humbly praying peace and comfort upon your family during this season of loss and sorrow. We love you beyond all measure.

Barbara, Lynn, Alesia, Tom, Mike, & John Allen; it was indeed a pleasure & blessing to have known DR.Tom Rhea. Praying for the family in the days ahead; with the hope of your comfort.

Tom Rhea was unique in so many ways; I knew him well,his family,and his parents.He represented the best of the South: always a Southern Gentleman. He was a charter member of the ATO Chapter at Southern and supported it all his life. He will be missed by all those who knew him. He was always generous. My son Tom said of him, "just knowing Tom made me want to be a better person."
That sums up the life and many personal qualities of Tom Rhea. I wish I could have attented his funeral. ...

I knew Tom Rhea through his dear friend Bill Rogers. I stayed a night at Tom Rhea's "camp". What a magnificent building and it was such a blessing to stay over night there.

Rest in peace ATO brother.
