I've known you all since I was a child and there was no one like Tom. He was always in good spirits and always there to shaking someone's hand to welcome them with a smile, and see how your family was doing. He will be greatly missed by many people, but I will miss the way he made you feel as he had such a heart for God and people.
Cry not for me now that I am gone, for I am now in a far better place singing praises with the King.

My Deepest Sympathy to the McCready family. Even though I didn't know Tom and Eva for very long, they were the nicest couple who welcomed me into their home. I am saddened by both of their passing, two wonderful people that I will never forget.

Tom, or "Papa Tom" as I called him, was part of my entire life. There was always a big smile and an even bigger bear hug whenever we met. When I got my first brand new-straight from the dealership car, after showing my mom, I went to see Tom. He will always have a special place in my heart
