You were a real gentle man, always smiling and adding that great giggle of yours! Will always remember how you and the commissioner had us doubled over with your take on Hans and Franz at the Combined Fund Drive. And that night we took in the view on the top floor of the tallest building in Kansas City. You'll be among heaven's "best dressed" for sure!

The Bynum family,
It was with great sorrow that I learned of Thomas's passing. It was my pleasure to have known Thomas through my dental practice for the past 20+ years. Thomas was truly one of our favorite patients and it was always a pleasure to see him. We certainly enjoyed his pleasant and gentle manner.
When I informed my staff this morning of his passing, there were many tears shed. He meant that much to myself and my co-workers. Thomas surely will be missed.
Rest in peace,
David Beeks

Thomas, you were a one-of-a-kind leader. You were always asking all of us how we were and you always really wanted to know. I will miss your genuine concern for others and never making anyone feel like they were beneath you. My prayers are with your family.

Thomas, you are leaving a huge void in our lives. We will miss you for awhile, but plan on catching up when we join you once more in paradise. Like we said before, god is faithful. Blessings, my friend.

Our hearts are so broken knowing Thomas won't be in our physical presence any more. But his prescence is with us in Spirit...everywhere. People have been stopping by our office every day and they are all so saddened. He meant ALOT to all of us because he "cared" so very much about us all.
