It’s crazy to think it’s been 5 years already.. some times it feels like yesterday and other times it feels like forever. I miss you so much. I wish you could have met Atreus, I tell him about you and show him your pictures all the time ❤️ I love you Dad ❤️

      Thomas was a happy go lucky kind of guy. I remember meeting Thomas playing slots at the Hard Rock. I was waiting to get a massage at the casino while my wife was getting hers done. We where playing the same games. I hit $700 on one machine Tom was just playing and i know he was thinking damn that could have been mine. Then i jumped.on.another machine and hit $900.  I'm sure he was thinking damn he's lucky. The next few weeks Tom got $1000 in free play and just barely got there in time to collect it. That is when Andrea and I meet his wife. Then next week he won a big screen TV.  He got his little run of good luck and all 4 of us have been friends ever since. He was just like me a hard.working man trying to have a good time with this wife when they could. He always said he just wanted some thing nice like a suite for them on there anniversary or birthday. They always enjoyed there time together and found time for friends and family.  Tom will be missed dearly but never forgotten. RIP my friend i was wishing you had hit the big jackpot and beat this cancer. Real friends are hard to find. You will be missed my friend. 

Tom we love you and you will be missed. 
Rest In Peace

Thomas was a loving caring man that we were proud to call our son in law. From the moment we met Thomas and his daughters they became family to us.  Sadly missed already. May you RIP. 
Love Irby Sr. & Rose Percle

When we meet Tom our talk was short but very pleasant. But through the years we followed his journey through his battle with cancer. Just by reading others post about Tom I can tell that he was a good man who was loved by many. We would rejoice when we hear about the winning battles and would be sad when we hear about hard times. Many prayers was prayed for full recovery. It hurt  our hearts when we heard about the news of his passing.  Now our prayers go out to family and friends of Tom that God will give you strength, peace and joy.  

Me and my husband first met Cynthia and Thomas at the hard rock casino biloxi four years ago and have been close ever since.  Hard to believe he's gone.  Me and my husband had dinner with them just last month before the Grand Funk Railroad concert.    So glad they had fun and that we got a chance to see both of them together and happy.  We will truly miss him and will always love him.  Now he's in God's hands and no longer in pain. 

My car engine needed work (bad gasket I think). Tom worked on it in Jerry and Claire's backyard. He tore apart my engine and put it back together, working on it for 11 HOURS.  He  only charged me 300 dollars. Just a sample of his generosity that I'll never forget. Rest In Peace Brother! 

It truly feels like  yesterday,  we were having dinner at the Hard Rock Hotel.  Laughing, spending quality time and enjoying each others company.  I am fortunate to have had the pleasure in meeting such an amazing soul. I was sincerely sadden  to hear  that an angel has been take away from us. My heart  truly goes out to Cindy and her family in an extremely difficult time like this. I will forever  cherish  our   fun  and joyful memories.  Especially !!!  how he  gazed in  amazement on how I ate shrimp  with a shell at our dinner table ( chuckles).  We laughed  and spoke about this priceless moment for months !!!  Heaven has truly gained an angel.  He will forever  be in our hearts and my deepest prayers  goes out to such an amazing human being. He will forever be missed.

Tom was truly an honorable man.always with a kind word or willing to lend an ear if needed.hes really hit the jackpot for the second time in life, the first was when he met cindy and lastly he hot a set of wings to watch over all of us till we meet again.love you man !!

Cindy, 

My hearts breaks for You, the children and Grandchildren to have to through Toms' s  passing.  He fought hard with you by his side and I know he will be watching over you from his Heavenly home.

I will always remember how much Tom Loved you! You could always see the sparkle in His eyes when he looked  at you. His Smile, his Genuine Spirit, the Love he showed to us all and the Gentleman he was will always be remembered.
 When you walked into a family gathering, Tom would always greet you with a hug and a big smile. 
 Tom's Life Was a Blessing to many, his Memory a Treasure. He was Loved Beyond Words and Will be Missed Beyond Measure.

May He Rest In The Arms of Our Lord Jesus Christ in His Eternal Home!
 

Cindy and family we are so sorry that Tom has left us so soon. We met at the Hard Rock and always enjoyed visiting with you both. Tom was a brave fighter on everything he had to deal with during his sickness, and you was always by his side.  Love Sandra and Charlie 

Where do I begin?  I don't think Tom ever met a stranger.  His ability to make you feel at home and a part of his family from first meeting was a gift from god. His unending love for my dearest friend Cindy was awe-inspiring! Although he found Cindy later in life it was as if they had known each other and been together forever!  Not only in this life but in previous lives. The way he loved and showed his love for Cindy, instilled faith to so many that true love really was possible.  And the glimmer in his eyes when he was up to no good, priceless!  I will never forget my first Mardi Gras, with Tom & Cindy. I'm still not sure who had more fun me or Tom. Lol, And that darn little blue smurf.  You are dearly loved and missed now and forever! ! 

I meet Cindy and Tom at Hardrock right after Tom started his first rounds of chemo. Toms smile could light up the whole room and his love for others was unconditional. Tom you and Cindy have a love that I never seen. I
Will miss your beautiful smile and your big loving heart . 

The Lord better have a Gold Top Les Paul ready because heaven is in for a treat. Here is to the years of joy, laughter, love and great music. 

Dear Cindy and family
So sorry to hear the passing news of Mr. Tom.   My husband (Tom) and I were very fortunate to meet you and Mr. Tom at the Hard Rock casino.  We will cherish those memories.  Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Love and Hugs
Tom and Maria Mazza
Mobile, Alabama

Dear Cynthia and toms family I only got to know him for a short time but I enjoyed spending time with y'all,may god wrap his loving arms around the family at this time and spread his loving arms to welcome Tom into his beautiful garden

Coming to america as a 9 yr old
Boy from Scotland with no friends was hard but to have someone like Tom as a neighbour made it easier to trust and befriend people very quickly. Hard working kind man who will be forever missed. Thank you for everything sir, may you rest in peace.
