I worked for AB Inc. for almost 30 years and thought very highly of Tommy Crump. He was a real gentleman and a wonderful christian. He was a man that I believe everyone who knew him admired him. Tom always had a kind word for everyone. He will be missed!

Mr. Crump was a very special man and he was always so kind to everyone. I remember being at his home on numerous occasions whether it be hooking up his computer or enjoying his "special sauce" that he would make for family gatherings. He was always a pleasure to be around and had a great sense of humor. He would make a quiet statement but it was always on point. I am feeling how his not being here will be a loss but loving the fact that he is with our Heavenly Father and has left a loving legacy here that represents his love of God and family. Hugs and kisses to all of you.
