Tom,
A long time friend (since 1983)- I will never forget the first time we met in Scottsdale, AZ. It was a hot afternoon, I was the receptionist in a busy office and Tom was there to wheel
and deal with the president of the company - while waiting and waiting...he sat across from my desk talking and talking - I was fiddling with a rubberband in my hand and it suddenly flew off and smacked Tom in the forehead - he instantly got mad (before he gave his life to the lord) and I laughed so hard I could barely catch my breath - friends forever. Tom you will be deeply missed by so many people - you touched so many lives and blessed me with a friendship.

Your friend,
Sheila Sherman and family
Denver, Co

I will miss seeing you everyday so much you were such a dear friend and meant so much to me. I enjoyed sitting in your office listening to your stories and exchanging stories about our puppies. You always reminded me what was truly important in life and how powerful prayer is. I will never forget that and will always take it with me.

I miss you dearly my friend. Especially in the mornings when you'd sit in my office and we'd talk and tell stories about our families. I enjoyed sharing new pictures with you of the kids and telling you the latest milestone or funny story. Thanks for always taking the time to listen. I loved hearing you talk about your family, your face just lit up whenever you did.
I'm sure you're in Heaven now with loved ones that have passed and you are at peace.
For Aletha and all the loved ones you leave behind my prayers and thoughts are with them during this difficult time.
