My condolences to the family of Tom. I worked and car pooled with Tom many years ago at Southern Equipment Co. He was a gem of a guy. Tom even spent a couple days helping me construct my first home in Imperial! Tom was very knowledgeable in many things. I have thought of Tom and his family often, after our days at "Southern" and know you all will miss Tom sorely.

His words and actions well thought out in times of need. He reminds me much of St. Thomas not as a doubter as many saw him but a man of courage and strength and deep confiction.John 11:16 Let us all go that we may die with him.These are the words of a beleiver. Like Tom a man of truth. God bless and comfort you for God has not given you a spirt of fear but a spirt of love joy and happiness Keith Judy Rebecca Hawkins

Uncle Tommy,Thank you for being the man that you were, honorable, an anchor for our family and someone that everyone could come to. Your kindness and your comforting words will be truly missed by all of us.

Your love and support that you had with Judy and your commitment to each other gives us inspiration to follow. Along with your strong foundation of faith that you and Judy have I find it comforting. As in the song that we sing, Be Not Afraid,, I go before you always, come follow me and I will lead you there, and I know you are home.

Please continue to watch over all of us and when I think I see something in the corner of my eye I'll just know that its just you passing by to say hi and keeping that watchful eye.

Judy we will continue to keep all of you in our prayers.

Love Donna & Ricky

As a cousin who was 15 months younger, I have known Tom all my life. He made a wise choice in Judy and lived responsibly. I know he still had many plans and objectives, but our fate is in God's hands. In the hope of the Resurrection, we must all take comfort and try to find peace. But it is hard....

At Past Funeral Services when asked by the Priest. Would anyone like to add something they wish to say. And you have many thoughts , but no words, and a lump in your throat and you can`t talk. It is easier to write, how you feel. Tom my brother, was always the stable one. He was always there in any family crisis,or family fun gathering. Very Health conscious. And till the last day he was a very hard dedicated worker.The person we all thought would be there forever. And out live us all. Connie & I, and our family will miss Tom dearly .Life is short. Be kind to one another.Tell Mom We said Hi Tom. I am sure your already there, with her. John & Connie Becker
