Sorry to hear of Shoes passing. My mom and I really liked working at the Holiday Inn many moons ago.

My husband first met Tom while working in the Advertising Department of the Sidney Daily News in the 1960´s as Tom would place ads in the local paper for the Holiday Inn. I would later meet Tom as the local hotel/restaurant was the place to go for breakfast or dinner and he would always stop and chat with everyone while refilling cups of coffee or freshening up glasses of water. Always friendly and smiling, Tom was a tireless worker that I had the occasion to interact with over the years whether hosting corporate meetings or events at the Holiday Inn to participating in, or donating to, a variety of community activities. He and his wife Sandy were a dynamic duo - a powerhouse pair that left a lasting impression on whomever they met. My father worked for Tom as a part-time landscaper, and to this day, remembers him as one of the kindest men that he has ever met. Our community is richer for having him be part of it.

Tom was a generous man who was always smiling. He and Sandy supported student scholarships at OHIO for many years and always enjoyed meeting the students when he came back to Athens for a football game or Phi Delt reunion. Tom will be greatly missed by his Ohio University family.

I worked for Shoey for 5 years.
He never stopped running. Breakfast lunch a break with a nap.
Then it was set up for dinner and the banquet rooms needed set as well.
After dinner it was setting up banquet rooms for breakfast meetings. He didn´t walk , it was a slow run.a hard worker. He will be missed. Many fond memories

Tom was a special person to me, both during the time I was in education and the time I was in the insurance work. He was always friendly and pleasant and cared about you as a person. It seemed like he worked 24 hours a day. He was a very successful business person and helpful to many others. Tom was blessed with a wonderful wife and family. May God continue to watch over them and care for them.

We traveled with Tom and Sandy to Europe twice. We were impressed by their generosity of person and spirit. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with them. He will be missed.

I have never known a man with more kindness, grace, GENUINE concern for others, wisdom and generosity!!
It was an honor to be around he and Sandy for many years and watch his gentle dignity and humility as he worked to serve others and make their lives better. I know this man has a VERY special place in heaven!

One of my favorite memories with Tom was when both him and Sandy came to my families Easter. It was so nice to see Tom sit down, with good friends and get to sit back, relax and cut up. He was always so cheerful and full of life. Tom Shoemaker, will always be one of those people you think back and realize you were so blessed to have met!
