We haven't known Tom for many years but the time we had with him was special. He wasn't just a friend he was like a brother. Tom and Terri have touched so many lives and I am honored to have had both as part of our lives. We love you both. R.I.P. Tom.

Mr. Tom,
 I had only a short time of knowing you  and glad I was given the opportunity. Please watch over Terri . Fly high and thank you for serving the United States ..

I only meet Tom 2 year's ago and very much liked him from the start. He was hard working knowledgeable man.  He was family man and very caring and loving. Never hesitated to help you out if he was able to. I will miss him as i really enjoyed the talks we had,even though at time's he was man of few words. That is a wise man that listens. You will be deeply missed and always loved and remembered by each and every one you touch. Rest In Peace and may we all reunite in our final home. Much love Ben And Nichole. 

my husband and I were together for 41 years married for 37. I always dreaded this day wondering how I would take it. but surprisingly enough between the love of God, Tom, and my dearest friends I won't say I'm completely ok and it's going to be tough going forward but knowing he is safe and will never be in pain again brings me sweet relief. we will meet again someday honey. as you once told me, I love you more than you can ever imagine. Life without you is tough, but knowing you are watching me really helps, it makes me feel safe and not so alone. my love for you will never end. it will continue throughout eternity until we meet again my love, your loving wife terri

This is a tribute to my father. Although it is the summary of my tribute it is not a summary of his life. Nothing could ever truly break down what an incredible man he was.  

My dad was a caring family man who loved life every day he was on this earth. He struggled with sadness and celebrated happiness as life presented it. He loved the outdoors and his pets, he always had such humanity which he showed when played with his dogs or took in strays that he found. 

My father served his country with pride and struggled with its effects both physically and emotionally. But he did let his struggles define him. 

I do not remember a time that my dad did not have faith in his fellow man. Although he may not have been a deeply spiritual man he believed in God and taught his children what’s was right and wrong and never judged us for our mistakes. 

My father was my best friend, best man, and best father ANY person could ever ask for. I will miss calling him for advice and just for a weekly talk about life and what ever else came up.  I Love you Dad and I know you continue to watch over us all. Rest In Peace.
