I was deeply saddened to learn of Tommy's passing.  My sincerest sympathies to the family, especially PaPa and Nan.  My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

I will deeply miss Tommy.  I am eternally thankful for the wonderful visit we shared on December 15. Tommy was a huge part of my life in Baytown.  As soon as we moved to Baytown he accepted me as a friend and that friendship lasted a life time.  I will never forget him.  I look forward to visiting with him again in Heaven someday.  God Bless Tommy and his family.

Uncle James, Aunt JeanAnn & Family,

My deepest sympathies to Tommy's family, my thoughts and prayers are with you. 
I worked with Tommy in Montreal a few years ago and was in touch recently as well. He was a wonderful, generous man with an incredible love for life. He will be very sadly missed. I wish you strength and courage. 
Sincerely 
Rosie

What a sad day this is to learn of Tommy's passing. I had the privilege of knowing Tommy for many many years from his Californa days to now. He was such a special person who touched each of our lives.   He gave the best hugs too!
He would call  me ""pumpkin"" and meant so much to me. I will think of him everyday and say a special prayer for him. He left his mark on this world- for sure.
My deepest sympathy to all of his family,
Joann DiStefano

James & Jean Ann,

To the Massengale Family,

My sincerest thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

I am just devisted to hear of our loss as I only learned of Tommy's passing a few moments ago. I worked for and with Tommy for many years.  He was my friend, my boss, my mentor. Tommy was an unbelievable person, who could just light up room when he spoke.  Anyone that ever met him, never forgot him.  He was so easy to like that you just wanted to be around him. He never stopped working and loved what he did. I will very much miss his enthusiasm, energy, and love for life. We are all better people for having Tommy in our life. 

I will miss you Tommy.

""See, I am sending an angel ahead of you to guard you along the way and to bring you to the place I have prepared."" Exodus 23:20

I had the pleasure of working with Tommy at Elite for a number of years but hadn't seen him in a long time.  He was always full of life & laughter.  I was happy to see him this September and was blessed with one of his big bear hugs!
To Tommy's family: Although words can not begin to ease the sorrow of your loss, please know that you are in my thoughts & prayers.   May God's grace carry you & give you strength, hope, peace & love.
My deepest sympathies,
Karen

My deepest sympathy to the Massengale family. Tommy was a ray of light that beamed on everyone he met. His energy and smile will never be forgotten. He will truly be missed.

To the family of my beloved Tommy,
 
I just now found out.... and I can't find the words to express how deeply sad I am. Tommy was my rock for many years when he lived in California. When we spent time together, our energy fed off another and EVERYTHING seemed possible. I will never forget his zest for life, his integrity, his smile and his hugs. 
 
Being able to call him my friend is an honor that will remain sacred for me. His lust for life lives on every time I think about him.
 
Most sincerely
 
Heike Knorz

To Tommy's family,

I am deeply saddened by Tommy's passing, I still can't believe it's real. Tommy and I were very close, he was an amazing friend with such a lust for life; he could always brighten up your day with his wicked sense of humor. Even up until the end, he would lighten up the the seriousness of his health situation with a funny comment or anecdote... I will truly miss him. We shared a lot great moments, from traveling for work together, to going out and having a good time; I will cherish those moments always.

My prayers are with your family to get through this with strength. We all loved Tommy, he was a beautiful person, and he will live in hearts and memories forever.

My deepest condolences,
Katie Papoutsis

I am deeply sadden at Tommy's passing. I have known Tommy as long as I can remember from grade shcool to graduation, he sat beside me in the 20 year reunion group photo and I just just imagine his smiling face as he is greeted in heaven.  My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Tommy you will sorely be missed...
please behave yourself up there!!!
Love you and miss you
cowola..

I am so sorry for your loss.  My thoughts and prayers will be with you during this holiday season.

My condolences to Tommy's family and friends. He was an amazing person with the ability to make anyone laugh. He was loved dearly by all of us and he will be missed immensely. I love you Tommy!

My deepest sympathy and condolences go to the entire Massengale family for your loss! Having gotten to know him over the last 4 years has been such a joy and I will have so many good memories - enough to last a lifetime. I'll be hard to come to work and not think about calling him or him dropping by when he's in town! You always knew when Tommy was in the office - he was a force to be reckoned with, that's for sure! He will be very missed and never forgotten. There is no one else like Tommy!

My Deepest Sympathies,

Although I did not know Tommy for very long (2 Â½ years) he definitely left am impression on me.  When Tommy was in the building you knew Tommy was in the building.  I will truly miss Tommy, his great sense of humour and joie de vivre. 

Again my deepest sympathies, I will light a candle in his memory at mass on Christmas Eve.

Mark

To Tommy's Family,
My sincere condolences for your loss. Everyone always knew when Tommy was in the office. He will be missed

Condolences just don't seem enough after losing someone as vibrant and passionate like Tommy. I worked with Tommy for almost 10 years now and what an experience it's been. There was never a dull moment when Tommy was around and he would alleviate the most serious situations with his sense of humor and charm.
Tommy, I will miss you with all my heart and will cherish the countless memories of our crazy nights out, dinners at your place and mostly; my last memory of you at my wedding. I love you and know in my heart that you're in a better place.

My sympathy and regards to Tommyâ€™s family and friends. He was admired and respected by everyone and it is difficult to accept that Tommy is no longer with us.

Watch out people, there is rain in the forecast...God is in tears from laughing so hard with Tommy!

R.I.P. Tommy and we will meet again one day.

I am deeply touched by Tommy's death. Tommy you will be missed.
My sincere condolences to all the family.

I would like to wish Tommy's family my heartfelt and deepest condolences.

Tommy was one of those very few special people who could light up a room with his mere presence, and that ear to ear smile of his.

He will be missed by all who knew him.

My deepest condolences to Tommy's family.  My prayers and thoughts are with you at this trying time.

It's such a tragedy that someone as vibrant and full of life was taken from us so early in life.  Tommy will be sadly missed by so many who have had the pleasure of knowing him.  I was once very close with Tommy during my time in Montreal and I surely will cherish every moment I spent with him.  Great memories.

I will light a candle in Tommy's memory on Christmas eve and say a prayer for his loved ones.

Words seem inadequate to express the sadness I feel. Tommy was loved by everyone here in Montreal and will be truly missed.  Tommy, I love you and I miss you.

Please except my heartfelt sympathies.

My deepest sympathies to Tommy's family.  My thoughts and prayers are with you.
He truly touched my heart and soul and made me a better person for knowing him.
He will be missed, but never forgotten!
Always remember the footprints in the sand.

I was shock of Tommyâ€™s passingâ€¦Tommy & Doneta were the ones who I worked closely when I first joined the company in August 2006. Tommy was such a nice and good man. He talked loud, but he laughed loud too. I love hearing all the joys that he brought every time when he came back to office. He will be missed, his big happy smiley face will always stay in our memory.

Our Dearest Tommy,

We're very sad upon hearing the news. We will always remember (the laughter, your generousity and of course ""the loud voice""), we thank you for being a part of us and visiting the warehouse whenever you have a chance, we will never forget the last time we saw you in a high spirit. We will just think that you left but it is hard for you to come back. We will dearly missed you Tom. And may God Rest you in Peace.



Our Deepest Sympathy to his family and friends.

I'M VERY SAD  THAT TOMMY PASSED AWAY. IT'S HARD FOR ME TO ACCEPT IT. BUT IT'S ONLY GOD KNOWS OUR LIFE. HE IS THE ONE WHO GIVE US LIFE AND HE'S THE ONLY ONE CAN TAKE IT AWAY. I'LL ALWAYS REMEMBER OUR SHARING AND WHICH HE LISTENED. I WILL MISS YOU TOMMY SO MUCH & I'LL  NEVER FORGET YOU ESPECIALLY YOUR LOVE,UNDERSTANDING, AND CARE TO ME AND MY FAMILY. 


MY SINCERE CONDOLENCE TO HIS FAMILY.

Please accept my Condolences,

... Someone so special can never be forgotten and I am grateful to have known him. 

May your Hearts and Souls find Peace and Comfort.

Deepest Sympathies,

I must admit I was one of Tommyâ€™s greatest fans. He was loud and made himself heard.
Through the goods time and the though times he had a good sprit.
He was always there when in need and shared parts of his heart to all of those who surrounded him.
He will truly be missed by all.
My deepest condolence to his family and friends,
Chantal Carpentier

I'll always remember your specialness and your great heart.

Tim & Denise,
    i'm sorry for your loss. I didn't have the pleasure of knowing Tommy, but from what I've read on here, it was my loss.  God Bless.

Tommy, Tommy, Tommy..there are just not enough words to describe him.  I had the pleasure of getting to visit with Tommy just a week ago today.  He was the same old loud all about me Tommy.  That is exactly how he will be remembered in my heart. I know he is with his beloved mother and with bubba.  You guys behave up there!

With a heavy heart and much love,

Missy

It is with great sadness that I learned of Tommy's passing. Seems like only a few weeks ago that I chatted with him in my office. Hard to believe he is no longer with us. Tommy lived each day to its fullest which I greatly admired about him. He spoke his mind... good or bad but his bark was worse than his bite. Tommy was a special person and will be greatly missed.


""Look, I don't want to wax philosophic, but I will say that if you're alive you've got to flap your arms and legs, you've got to jump around a lot, for life is the very opposite of death, and therefore you must at very least think noisy and colorfully, or you're not alive."" 

Mel Brooks

Tommy was definitely alive.

My deepest condolences for your loss.

Ian

I knew Tommy for only 18 months, but it felt like always.

Wherever you are Tommy, Iâ€™m sure you wonâ€™t make this place boring. You were and will remain crazy and funny in our heart. I will miss you, but never will I forget you.

My Deepest Sympathies to family and friends.

Mr. Massengale and family,
I am so sorry for your loss.  You are in my thoughts and prayers.  Remember to draw on God's strength during this difficult time.

Words cannot express how much of a loss Tommy will be to all that has shared his life,young or old.
I have worked with Tommy for at least 5 years and I cannot believe that he is gone, we spoke 2 months ago and was supposed to have lunch â€“ never happened....
Itâ€™s been almost 4 years that I have left Elite and I feel that it was just yesterday he was yelling my name.
Tommy was just a wonderful person that was so full of life and love for others that it makes his passing so unbearable and unfair. .
We often say life is not fair and only the good die young , this is one time that it is not and we hope that  God has  to take him away from us  for a very good reason.

Goodbye Tommy
Carmen McTurk

Dear Massengale family, this is is the other ""Granny"" our families grew up together and your boys called me Granny too.  Tommy was my special little boy, he used to come sit with me in Church every Sunday, even went to the chior one time.  We were fortunate enough to
see him the last time we were in Baytown, which was a sweet farewell for us, much love and sweet memories, to a fine family.

Knowing news that Tommy died is the saddest christmas anyone felt. But, yet his laughed bring lights in our spirits and he will be missed. The way he faces life is my a great inspiration. Goodbye Tommy

Hey Tommy I can't believe you're gone. I've known you for 6 years and I have to say it was an experience. I'll truly miss your laughter and your crazy humor. With Tommy you always got what you saw a man who spoke his mind no matter what the circumstances. Good,bad or indifferent you always new where you stood with him. I always admired that about you Tommy. May you rest in peace.

I just had spoke to him about 6or7 months ago, he was leaving for Japan. He said he was coming to see us when he came back to Texas. He sounded like he always did ""HAPPY"" 
I'm sorry for all yal pain.
I love you all and miss you all too!
