Not sure what to say?

I was a senior in high school in 1966. It was a fantastic year for UK. Tommy Kron was a huge part of their success. Thanks for the memories, and may God bless his family....

I was very saddened to hear this. I grew up with Jessica and Jason in the neighborhood and at school. I remember Mr. Kron was a very kind man. He came to every single athletic event, and he was our biggest supporter. I held a compliment from him on the court or the field very, very highly. I think he was an honorary Amazon.

Jessica, Jason, and Diane, my thoughts are with you.

God Bless your Soul "Crash"......An original Supersonicc from 1967....RIP.

I met Tom in the 80's through Craig Tschudi and Steve Shea. He was a good investment professional, and a good man. We were not close, but he impressed me alot, and I was glad to have met him.

God bless your soul, Tom, and blessings to your family.

My prayers go to the family of Tommy and I will say a Mass for him.

Tommy Kron was such a gentleman when I met him at the Atlanta UK Alumni Assoc. Derby Party back in 1985. He allowed me to go on and on about how much he and the other Rupp's Runts mean to me. I'm a Gator my education but will always be a Cat at heart.

Tommy was my favorite player on one of my favorite teams and it is such a sad day when a great person such as Tommy leaves us so soon. Tommy will never be forgotten.

May you and your family come to learn and know of the BIBLE's promise, that soon, no one will have the sicknesses that plague us and MAY GOD'S tender mercies provide you with comfort and hope.

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