I've got so many fond memories of Tom and the Allison family getting together with the Ezell's during the holiday season. I remember our trips to Columbia and Atlanta spending time with Beth, Alvin, Luther as we're growing up. Tom always made it a fun trip to look forward to...whether it being a sleep-in in the pop-up caravan in the garage or all of us piling in the big Ford wagon for a kids road trip! We'll miss him so much, but we all have memories of him to cherish for a lifetime. My condolences to the Allison family is this very trying moment.

Loss of a dear old friend is never easy. Tom was one of the best. Many fun times square dancing and camping will never be forgotten. Sincere love to Mary and strength to family at this time of loss.
