How can this be, just wish I had known, still, what could I say to give comfort. I know you think, why not me? No answers for us in this life. Maybe someday.

I was so sorry to hear of the death of Tom. Burying one child is terrible---burying all your children is unthinkable. Gayle, Debbie, Rich, Tom and I had a great time at the Junk Jaunt last summer. Because Tom brought his truck, I got to bring home a beautiful rocking chair. Tom, I'll think of you every time I sit and rock. Rest in peace!

To bury your child is tragic - to have to bury all your children is unfathomable. My sympathy and prayers to the parents. Also to his friends and other family.

Tom I will never forget all the fun times our little gang had running around together back in the day. You always had a smile and would help out if someone needed it. My prayers are with you and you're Family.

Tom, I will never forget as a child how excited us kids were to see you on card night. You always thought of us and NEVER forgot the snicker bars! I remember the last time I saw you, glad I was able to hug you. You were my dads best friend and I loved you. Forever in my heart you will be and until we meet again Tom. Love Angela Marie McLaughlin

Tom, we`ve been friends for a long time, over 40 years. Not long enough. I`ll miss your laugh, it will stay with me the rest of my days. When I think your name or hear your laugh, I`ll know your there, just like you were the day I married,had children,played cards,everything.Who knew back in 1971 when we became fast friends that it would span a lifetime?.(US). I have a million memories-some even true. Don`t worry, like you ,I will keep most of them between you & I. I don`t think we could handle the consequences and repercussions. Some people say a good friend is like a brother, somehow that does NOT say enough for me. Your legacy is the people`s lives you`ve touched in one manor or another,for me it`s profound. As long as I, my wife, or my children breathe the same air,you will be in our hearts. You were a major part of our lives from the beginning. I`m thankful for seeing you a couple of days before you passed, I just wish we had more time. '' Next when we speak, I will never again waste a treasured moment of our time with silence. For since that time you left my sight, my thoughts have been shattered with the thundering conversations we,my little brother have never had. Others throughout the rest of my life will never know my silence as you did Your life is a treasured moment you shared with me, A moment that lingers''. God bless you Thomas Earl Kinsel, for being my FRIEND........ Robert G. McLaughlin

In loving memory of a wonderful person. You were so fun to work with and became a great friend to us over the years. We will also miss your good stories and funny sense of humor. Even though you are at peace, it's hard to accept that you are gone. You are truly missed.
In deep sympathy.

Tom, you were a dear friend and will be missed terribly, Your friends, Bob and Alice Howard
