I am honored and blessed to call you my Granddaddy. He was truly a blessing in my life and I will miss him. A good heart stopped beating, a good soul ascended to heaven. I will never forget you. May God give him eternal rest and our family strength to bare this great pain.

I want to express my sincere sympathy to Brenda and the whole family. Tom was a good friend who taught me to play chess in the sixties. He and his sharp mind will be missed by many. Earl Damewood

So sorry for your loss. I went to school with Tommy here in Murray KY. Our class is slowly dwindling down.
