Tom was a man of great character. He had a good sense of humor and loved to laugh. His personality was larger than life. He had a heart for Jesus and loved to quote Romans 10:9. He was loved by many and was considered a poor man’s friend. He always lived what he believed with God being his focal point. It is with certainty he is with the Lord.
