The FHS Class of 1956 salutes Tom as one valuable and prized fellow student from our class. He is missed. God bless his family. He entered to learn and went on to serve..

We extend our deepest sympathy to Constance, the children, and grandchildren for their loss of Thomas. He was a fond classmate at FHS and he always had a gracious smile. Talented he was, Thomas was able to use his skills as he entered, learned, and went on to serve. Both Roxie Tyeryar and I also extend for the entire FHS Class of 1956 their deepest sympathy and will always remember Thomas with their love. Roxie and Carroll, Co-Chairs of the upcoming 65th Reunion, shall remember him this October. God bless.

Stacy words can not ease the pain you and your family feel. Pappy was a great man. I will always cherish the years of memories of when he would come outside and tell us about the yard and such. We love you all.
