Not sure what to say?





March 17, 2011

Along with the others I have to say I am so caught off guard and shocked by the news of Tom's death. He started out as a manager but quickly became a friend. He had a way of keeping things light and funny. He was a very kind man who always took the time to roll up his sleeves and help you out at work. It makes me laugh to think about how much coffee he would drink and we always had to have a fresh pot for him upon arrival. He was such a 'down to earth' type of guy. I can't say enough kind words about him. His memory will forever be in my mind and heart. God's peace be with his family and friends. May God's perpetual light be shining upon him. ~Teri

I am in total shock, to find out Tom has passed. He was my manager years ago when we worked at Instant Labor, he was a wonderful manager and I learned a great deal from him. I was searching for him today to see if i could contact him to thank him, only to find out of his passing. I was just talking about him in class last week...so sorry i didn't get a chance to Thank him.

I'm so shocked and heartbroken finding out today that Tom is gone from us so soon. We were neighbors. He always knew what to say or do to make me smile. He was a good guy. Although we lost touch these past few years, he was always close to my heart; a fellow animal lover. I'm glad I got the chance to know him and his beloved dog, Pilot. Peace and love to you, Tom.

Tom and I were roommates in college for two years and great friends. I feel terrible that we lost touch over the years and have been meaning to look him up, but life always seem to get in the way. I finally got around to it today only to learn of his passing. I'm heartbroken and my sincere prayers go out to his family.

I am so sorry to here Tommy is gone. I grew up with the Hincker family and loved them all very much, and still do even though its been years since we spoke. There are no words to express my sorrow for your loss.

July 22, 2010

My condolences to Tom's family and friends. I dated Tom throughout our high school years and am so shocked and saddened in hearing of his very early departure. Please take comfort that he is now in the arms of Jesus, in a much better place than our earthly home. We can only imagine the wonders of his new home and the peace he now knows in the place our Savior made just for him.
Praying for all of you,
Dawn (Balut) Tarbell
