Tom was a wonderful, caring man who would do anything for anyone. I still use the doll bed and a high chair he made for my housekeeping center in Kindergarten when I taught at AR Lewis. He'd do anything for the children. He and Mrs. Betty loved this school, the children and the community. Tom will be greatly missed. We lost a great man, but heaven gained a great angel.
Thomas Dwight Rust... The Best Supervisor I Ever Worked For & One of the Nicest Men I've Ever Known! You will truly be missed
