To Dorothy and the entire Wanslee family, I want to send you my love. I have known Tom for many years now and his honesty and integrity will live forever. He was a great man and loved by many. His staff at Wanslee Auto had been with him for 20+ years and that speaks volumes. I know this is a difficult time for all, but we know where Tom is and we know Heaven opened their gates wide for this man. May you rest well Tom and I will be praying for your sweet family.

My family is so thankful to have known Mr Epperson , wife Dorothy, Mom and all the staff at Wanslee Auto. Tom was a beautiful soul, he loved his family! last year as we sat and talked about family and buying a new car Tom told my husband and I how much he loved us and appreciated our buisness throughout the years. I had the chance to tell him how much we loved and appreciated him and his family, I am so glad I took that opportunity to let him know how much he meant to me and my family. My prayers go out to Dorothy and the family, may you get through each day knowing how much Tom loved you! God Bless

Rest In Peace

Tom was such a wonderful man to my Father Alan Abel and to my aunt Lesley Abel. Tom was the first person to share such amazing memories about my father and their friendship, I wouldn't have known who my dad was if not for him! My father and aunt truly loved Tom, both of them were treated like family by him and his parents. My mom and step dad have know Tom and Dorothy for a very long time, they will miss him deeply. I love you Tom and I thank you for looking after my dad his ENTIRE LIFE!

I am so sad to hear of Tom Epperson's death. I still have the letter from him on the closing of Clyde Wanslee attached to my refrigerator. He was a kind and solid man. He sold me the Yaris I currently drive on his birthday a few years ago. He will be so missed. I have been going to Wanslee's for years. He was always such a nice gentleman.
So sad.
