Nancy and children,
Sorry I couldn´t attend his service.
He was a good friend to me during our time playing golf at Hertmitage.
He was a true "character" in the best sort of way.....
Prayers for your Family

We'll said George about Red's life. Also a fellow Spider Hooper. As in life he never took a deep shot on the court that he didn't think it was going in. RIP Red. Jeff Butler

Our deepest and sincerest condolences to the family, and friends of Tom "Red" Booker. Although proud, assertive, and demanding, he was also warm-hearted, open-handed, and extremely loyal to friends and associates.
He lived out his own myth, yet the role he assumed was A Noble one. His forte was an uncanny ability to influence others and
bring them around to his way of thinking. May he rest in Peace.
