Such a wonderful, caring, patient, honest man that will be missed. Worked with him years ago and he always had a smile on his face and a kind word in his heart.

JOB WELL DONE ,REST IN PEACE

My memories of Tommy go back to high school at North Buncombe High in Weaverville, NC. He always had a smile for those around him. I also had the joy of getting to know his sweet mom, Ruby and a sister, Dorothy, that worked with me in the operating room at Mission. I know he is now rejoicing with his savior and his family gone before.

Thomas was such a sweet and kind and caring person. I worked with him at JIRDC. We used to talk a lot about the Bible and GOD. Going to miss you.

I went to Flat Creek School with him I love his MOM She made cookies for our class

Thomas was such a wonderful man. I worked with him at JIRDC. He was always kind and uplifting to us all. We will miss him.

God's great wisdom placed Thomas alongside our family many years ago. And for that we are so very grateful. Thomas blessed us with his friendship, love, and kind spirit and his loving care of our son Matthew as he struggled with cerebral palsy. Thomas was definitely being the hands and feet of Jesus here on this earth. May God bless your family, and have peaceful rest dear Thomas. You will not be forgotten.
