Sorry that I did not get the chance to visit with Tommy in recent years. I can remember the times we had together many years ago with Candy, Cliff, Johnny and brother Bill. You will be missed by all of us.
Cousin, Bryan Beisel

As we all know, Tommy was a kind-hearted, good man. I am very thankful and proud to have known him. My thoughts and prayers are with the many people who's lives he has touched and forever changed.

The perfect smile!

Tommy had the perfect smile, a truly enduring soul that overflowed from the core of his being.

My most precious memories of Tommy evolve around his personal mission to make the world smile. A truly selfless act, which only the most humble and celebrated of men can put forward. His journey through life was never easy and to most would seem unfair. But, I remain certain that the people who experienced Tommy’s smile were forever touched.

Tommy was my mother’s little brother, she loved him so very much, and along with his little sister, she always wanted to protect him, to guide him, to provide him with confidence and strength.

When life offered a misguided result, my mother was deeply hurt by the exodus of Tommy in her life. She missed him terribly, and was forever saddened by the results, but her love for her little brother was eternal; as she endeavored to never insensitively judge his thoughts or actions.

I know my mother met Tommy at the gates of heaven and in her most precious state of grace, extended her hand to help her little brother cross into a most blessed existence, one that our earthly bound souls can never imagine.

Today, Tommy is the angel behind the stranger that smiled at you…when you needed a smile the most.

Forever blessed to have known him...

Tommy, like his dad, Uncle (John Bill) as we knew him loved to fish as Grandma Beisel did. I remember the good old days when Harry and Alma would bring the Beisel Clan to visit John & Margaret near Clarkins and have a wonderful time playing outside with Tommy, Candy, Cliff and Johnny during those wild cookouts. We all had exciting times on those fishing trips. Tommy will be greatly missed by all those who knew him, but his Spirit and goodness will always be with us! Wish I could have visited with him over the past few years, but I was able to keep track of the Flordia Trio's activities thru Captain Rick Garrott . Cousin Bill

Tommy,
I never got to meet you, much less say good-bye. You always made your niece Deanna, my wife, so happy. She only had wonderful things to say, and stories to tell about you. She wished that everyone could have as huge a heart as you had, and be as giving and kind as you. I almost feel as if I know you from all the pictures around our house and beautiful stories I have heard. You are in a wonderful place now. I am sure you will take care of your mother, sister, and anyone else that needs your help/support. Keep them laughing. That is who you are. I can't wait to meet you.

Tom sorry I didn't get to say goodbye.

May 6, 2009

Tommy was my uncle and my dad's best friend. He had such a zest for life and an amazing spirit. I will always remember his love for life and his heart. He was the type of guy that would give you the shirt off his back if you needed it. He was the life of the party and his spirit will reamian with us forever. Tommy, they say you die twice, once on earth and once when people stop saying your name. We will never stop saying your name and you will always be at the party. I love you
Ashlie

Tommy lived with my sister-in-law for many years and I feel I got to know him from all the family conversations. In fact, we just spent the last week of his life in florida to be with them and went on the deep sea fishing trip from hell. Throughout it all Tommy remained happy-go-lucky and had a devil may care attitude. I liked him alot and will miss him. Keep in touch Karen and we will get you through this.

Thomas Michael Beisel- Well you've done it this time mister..And I want to scream at you, but you're no longer here. I guess this is for real this time. I can't beleive you. You know how much I'm going to miss you?? When we were kids I used to follow you around like a little puppy dog. And you never told me once to go away. I can't follow you now, can I? You were always living on the edge. And you were always hitting on my girlfriends. I will truly truly miss you so much. I love you Tommy and I'm hurting. Your loving sister, Candice.
