Our Maultsby family had so many great and memorable times when we were growing up and gathering in the old home place every summer. I will miss you and always remember you,Tom, and God's blessings to your daughter and sons who will miss you dearly.

Tom was a wonderful man and I respected him greatly. It was my great fortune to work with him on the Safety Management Council of the NC Trucking Association for many years. I considered him a friend and a mentor, and he always had time to answer my questions or offer words of encouragement. The NC trucking industry has truly lost one of its finest. My thoughts and prayers are with the family as you go through this very difficult time. Tom will certainly be missed by many.

Farewell to a good guy and and an even greater friend. We will miss you in so many ways especially since we were in high school together and saw you evolve into a wonderful leader and a take charge person. Tom, you never let us down. We are happy to call you friend, good husband and wonderful father. If a man is measured by the friends he has in life then you win. May God continue to bless you.

During my career with Burlington Industries, it was a pleasure to report to Tom Maultsby. Because of his kindness and humility, he exemplified the true role model boss who supported my mission with that company and thank God we crossed paths in this life. I am praying for his family during their time of bereavement.

Your dad was one of the nicest guys I have ever known and I am sure you will miss him greatly. He spoke often of you and you could tell how much he cherished his family. There are lots of fond memories of those early Saturday morning breakfasts and then off to Indian Valley golf course usually with the teams that Tom put together because as you know, he did like to win. He will always be a winner in my book.
