  1. I played little league and Babe Ruth league baseball with Tom. I followed all of his posts on Facebook about different wines and wondered where he acquired both the taste and experience with them and was totally impressed. My sincere condolences to the family, knowing he was a Christian we know where he is now and one day we shall meet again

  2. Tom lived life large! I first met him over 25 years ago when I married Debbie’s brother, Scott. He welcomed my children and our grandchildren into his life with sincere joy, deep affection and lots of humor! Must not forget that laugh! On a deeper note, I loved to discuss theology with Tom. Tom was a devout Baptist, I a devout Methodist, together devout Christians. We shared truly meaningful discussions about the Bible and shared stories about teaching Sunday school.
    I will truly miss the fullness of his personality. Rest easy at the feet of our Lord Tom!

  3. Debbie, Our hearts are filled with compassion for you and Jason. We cannot believe that Tom is gone but, we know that his memory will live on. I remember the trip we took to Canaan Valley, WV and all the fun we had visiting that beautiful area. WVU has lost a great fan and I have lost a great friend as we swap football and basketball stories. Rest assure that you and Jason are in our thoughts and prayers.

  4. Debbie: Scotty and I are so sorry for your loss. Tom will definitely be missed. We are praying for you and Jason. Please let us know if there is anything we can do for you.

  5. Uncle Tom was always so much fun to be around. I’ll never forget when he took me to NYC for the first time. We went to Little Italy and he let me get whatever I wanted. He was always laughing and joking. Always telling stories about all of his travels. I was so looking forward to reading his travel book. He is now on the ultimate trip to paradise in heaven. Someday we will see him there and he can tell us of all of his heavenly adventures.
    My Love and prayers to Aunt Debbie and Jason.

  6. Our deepest condolences and prayers to Debbie, Jason, and the rest of the family.
