Hard to believe it's been a year now. What a great man; Christian, Pastor, hunter, fisherman, trap shooter and great friend. God called him home much to soon but he is now in Glory! One day we will be with him again.

Not enough can be said about Tom. He was like a 2nd Father to me. He taught me so many things over the years. How to trap shoot, reload ammo and tie a tie just to name a few..the 1000s of hours we spent shooting bows and guns together, and the hunting trips we took together will always carry with me as well as all the conversations and laughs we shared over the years. I will surely miss him more than words can express. He was a great man. May God hold him and his family tightly in the days and years ahead.

Our family, in from Virginia for a wedding; just yesterday on Sunday, June 23, we purposefully drove by the West Falls Baptist church in Falls to look at and remember this wonderful Pastor- Tom Harmon, and the good people in this small church. We had no idea Pastor Tom had passed. May God comfort his family, and church family. Sincerely, the Willis and Dawn Hapeman family.

A great friend for several decades. Many days spent hunting together and Trap Shooting at ATA events or practice at North Berwick Hunting & Fishing Club. A good sportsman but more important a dedicated Man of God! His service to "The Church" will never be forgotten. I'm sure as Tom was ushered into Glory he heard these very special and well deserved words. Well Done thy Good and Faithful Servant! Well done Tom!
