Thomas David Acton

Tom was like a brother to me. He was always there for me during my early USAF career. I´ve thought of him often and proud of the great life he lived with his wonderful wife, Bonnie. He will be missed.

May the Lord bless all of the family and friends of this genuine man. And especially to Doug, my old friend through high school and many years after. Mr. Acton, as I knew him when growing up - may your next adventure be as blessed as the time you spent here on Earth.

We will never forget the wonderful memory of Tom taking our Family, Tim Smith and, Jerry Huff to Awana Camp, in California. We had such a good time going there and Tom was a perfect host, he treated us like Family and, was so generous to share his Motor Home with us. My Family and I, just wanted to share this memory with you. We just wanted your Family to know we talk about that trip often and always think of Tom when we talk about it. May God truly bless your entire Family.
Tom was a perfect host, for all of us, in his motor home that he so graciously, shared with all of us. We had such a good time going to AWANA camp in California with him.

Oh sweet family, my deepest sympathies to you all. Tom was a great man and was dearly loved by my parents. I remember all the fun times they had together. I found some pictures of Tom that I hope you enjoy. I remember Tom's laughter, big smile, his pipe, and how the guys played games like Risk. What a heavenly reunion it must have been for them to see him again. My prayers are with you.

Sure gonna miss him. Thoughts and Prayers to everyone. Because of Uncle Dave I developed a love of Chess. Not sure if he ever lost at that either! A very special man.

Deepest symphony to you, Brinah, and all your family. We plan to be there on Saturday.

My sincere condolences to the family, and my old high school/college mate Doug
