So sorry to hear of Tommy's passing. I started work for Tom 30 years ago in 1983. One of the best men I've known, worked for, and learned from. I can't even list the things that I do in my everyday work that I learned from Tom. He was a great friend, great framing boss, and great mentor. He made the work place enjoyable, and it is hard to remember when he didn't have a smile on his face. It was an honor to have worked for him. I will miss him, but Jesus improved his carpenter crew. RIP Marty Mote

Melba, I read about Tommy's passing today. I am so sorry. I would like to come to the service but I broke my foot 10 days ago and I do not get around very well. Please tell the girls that I am thinking of them. May God Bless Each of You. Rosie Letz
