Thomas you were unique and energetic beyond words. Thank you for your friendship. You will be missed dearly.
Tom was the man who stopped on the side of the road to help a stranger fix a flat tire. There aren’t too many more like that out there anymore. I personally don’t know how to thank you for all the joy you brought to my world. We had so many laughs together; those stories are endless. Whenever I was with you Tom, the world seemed full of possibility. Everything became vibrant. You were also always there when I needed you most and guided me through rough waters. No one but Tom could solve any problem whether it be home construction, gardening, cooking, engineering, the markets, and hundres of other things. Two weeks ago I had a random math problem, and I took it to Tom who solved it in two seconds. The hike we took a month ago to the Niagara Gorge on that perfect late summer day, followed by the Egyptian festival was one of the highlights of my summer. If only I could turn back the clock and grab you back. Tom was most proud of his children and granddaughter. He talked about you all the time. He loved each of you so much. You were his joy.
Now you are at peace XOXO Julie Hall

Dear Kiersten, we were so saddened to hear of the loss of your father. Gary just realized that he had met him and did business with him for an engineering project at his company some years ago. Gary remembers that he was really pleased with the job and your dad was so pleasant to work with. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers through this difficult time. We miss you – Mary, Gary and Jeff Britton
Dear Uncle Bob, Georgia and Pat and Susie…. I was so sorry to hear about Tommy… I have many memories of time together when we were young. I will keep you all in my prayers and ask God to help you thru this sad time.
So sorry for your loss. I graduated with Tom and was saddened to hear of his passing
Willie and I both graduated with Tom and he has many memories of him and said he was a cool dude. Sounds like he had a full life with lots of laughs and love. Our condolences to all who knew him.
