Becky, Tom was our young, cool scoutmaster on all those hikes and trips to Camp Pellesippi. Always smiling, always laughing and always positive. A wonderful influence on young and impressionable souls like myself in the turbulent 60's. May his memory be eternal. Gary Spangler

Coach Addington/Mr. Addington made a tremendous impact on my life. He exemplified a true life with an energetic, fair, fun and competitive nature. He will always be my coach. Thankful that he also encouraged me in seeking the Lord and growing in Him. I'll miss seeing him out and about the area; he was truly salt and light in an ever-growing-darker world. Becky, Jennifer, Jimmy; I love you all and my heart breaks for you and yours during this time.

I am so sorry Rebecca, and to all Tom's family. You are all in my prayers and thoughts. May God put his arms around you all and comfort you in this difficult time. Tom was a very sweet, caring man; always happy and smiling whom I feel many of us have been blessed just by knowing. I sure will miss his smiling face for it just made my day when I would see him.

Thoughts and prayers are with your family! We will miss Coach Tom. What fun times we had on the soccer fields with him. I still remember the first day we all met at Bruesters Ice cream. A day for new friendships and we were so blessed to have the honor of knowing him and having him be our coach and friend. Love you guys!

Tom and I shared many good times at TVA, on the "express bus" to work, and coaching the very young soccer team which included my son. Great man- true friend- loved his family- loved his work- loved the Lord. What a legacy!

Deepest Sympathy from a Troop 49 Boy Scout of the 60's who greatly appreciates
what Tom did for the troop and for my
growth as a scout and as a young man.
He also introduced me to the game of golf and that has meant a lot. What a kind, fun, and giving individual. A really good man.
The Jerry Spangler family, Atlanta.

Becky, Jennifer, and Jim-
I am so sad to hear of Tom's passing. He always had a smile and warm hug to greet me while at EAUMC. He was always a fixture up near the front pew on Sunday mornings. He was a wonderful man and loved by so many. My heart goes out to you all--may God comfort you all at this sad time.

Words cannot describe the leadership, love, and direction that "Coach A" provided me throughout my young life. In fact, he fearlessly saved my young life when we were on a fishing trip on the Holston River when I was in middle school, and the dam opened without warning. He was a consummate role model for every life he touched, and my thoughts and prayers go out to his family in this time of need. Tom will be dearly missed on this earth. Thank you Coach, I owe a lot of what I am today to you, and your committment to me and our community over the years.

You can't choose your family, so I guess I was just lucky to have had a brother like you. We forged a bond that time cannot erase and we shared so many wonderful times together. You can never know how proud I am to say to all, "that's my brother."

Coach A taught me many things as a young man. How to play soccer, how to win and loose with respect, how to work hard, and how to focus on what is important. He will be missed and loved. I pray my children have a coach love them as he loved his players. May the peace only The Lord can give comfort your family.
