I enjoyed working and visiting with Tom over the many years he was at Flowserve. I retired about a year ago and was shocked to hear of his passing. My thoughts and prays are with Tom and his family.

I worked closely with Tom for nearly a decade at Flowserve. I am proud to be able to call him a friend, and he was a much esteemed colleague. I learned a great deal from Tom professionally about the IT business. I know he's in a better place and with loved ones that have gone before him. I hope and pray the Lord looks over his and Janes daughter with a watchful eye. It was a pleasure knowing you Mr. Killinger. Till we meet again. :-)

It is hard to put into words the lost all of us feel even though we know you are at heaven's with Jane. We always joked about the Kmart light being on (Msg indicator) to know you were ok and all was well for another day. It's tough to see that light off but comforted in thought that you and Jane are fine now. You are the Gentle Giant Teddy Bear with the heart as big as the Universe and Patience that could fill all the oceans. I will miss you but I will pray the void you left behind will be lessened each day for your Family, Sarah, Your Friends and myself.

I worked with Tom at Durametallic/Flowserve for many years and was so sad to hear of his passing. Such a kind, knowledgeable, helpful, talented, and gracious man, who was liked, respected and appreciated by all who knew him. He will be greatly missed by his fellow employees/friends. My heartfelt condolences to his family.

I am still in shock that you're gone. I will miss working with you, but most of all I will miss my friend. I will miss giving each other encouragement when things are tough at work or praying for each other's family during difficult times. You were a true friend and were loved and respected by so many. I know how much you missed your your dear wife Jane and I have no doubt that you had a happy reunion with her and your mom. I'm sad at the loss of a great friend, but heaven gained an amazing guy.
