Dear Inman Family,
Your husband, Dad (Tom, Jr's eulogy "Daddy") and Granddad was a remarkably fair, generous, conscious, dedicated, fun, humorous, motivating and inspiring person. We met when he and Shirley moved into Memorial City Professional Bldg.I when it was occupied by a very few dental and one medical practice.
He guided and mentored me through the post war trauma of Viet Nam era militray service and the loneliness of setting up a new dental practice with no clients. We shared a duck lease close to what is now West Houston Airport (the average cost per bird was about $250, didn't get very many take aways, but it was inspiring to watch the sunrise). When flying became my new passion, he generously shared the 210 with me for several years. He will ever be in my mind and heart, he has never left. I was comforted knowing where he was - having fun at work or safely at home with a caring loving family; yet, feel very neglectful for not taking the time to thank him personally for his many gifts.
May you find peace in the many gifts and much grace you have shared as a family knowing the depth of his love and commitment.
With profound respect, Ron Presswood

I thoroughly enjoyed working with Dr. Inman for the 11 years I was with him. He was extraordinarily intelligent, an amazing "physician of the mouth" - not just an ordinary dentist, and he was incredibly kind. His passing certainly leaves a large void in the world of dentistry.... he will be missed by many and by me. God bless you, Dr. Inman, and your family as well. Rowena Brooks, RDH

I met Dr. Inman when I first moved to Houston in 1990 and over the decades has helped me so much on many different levels. Dr. Inman always impressed me by his love of his family, genuine concern for others and constant joy in his chosen profession. He is a inspiration to me. A very cool left handed dentist and person!!! We will miss you.
