Good Bye Tom,
I, and my family shared many wonderful memories with you, your Mom and Dad, along with Don and Ann. It was and added delight to have attended High School @ RHS with you. Every time I look at the beautiful, one of a kind, landscaping projects you created for myself, and many of our friends, I see your God given talent in progress. Thank you for utilizing these special talents for turning red mud into such enchanting displays for each season. They will for years to come, continue to enhance our memories and keep you fresh in our minds and hearts forever. You will truly be missed.
With Christian Love,
Pat McCoy Cordell

To Tom's family.
I went through 5 years at Roosevelt with Tom. He was one of those guys that I just thought would always be here. But at the Service today, I got real old real fast. Tom left way too soon, & I hurt for Sheila and Don and all of Tom's family. The last time I saw Tom was at my son's youth football game in 1984. A giant of a man walked up to me & gave me a bear hug. As soon as he spoke I knew it was Tom.
Friendly as ever.
God bless each of you.
