Linda, Duane and I are so sorry for your loss as well as family. Tom always had a smile along with a good laugh when we saw you two enjoying yourselves at Cheeks. Knowing Tom (starting in Trinity High School) and you for so many years was a blessing. You will be in my prayers. Ann Tynan Witzig

The last time I saw Tom was before a trip to Cabo San Lucas. He and Linda shared a drink with us and it was a great time. Tom could be a bit intimidating when you first met him, but once he liked and trusted you, he was as good as gold. I love that he spent a lot of time riding the fun wagon. He was an inspiration. And, I never knew he was a Purple Heart recipient. Tom was humble that way. My sincerest condolences to Linda, Chris and the rest of the family. You are in my prayers.

We only had the pleasure of Linda and Tom in SC for a few months a year but they became family. His sense of humor was one of the best. We lost a good friend but he will live in our hearts forever. Our love to Linda and the family.
