My favorite thing about grandpa will always be the comfort and happiness I feel when i’m around him.

Mr.Tom it was a pleasure to know you for over 15 years. I enjoyed our many conversations when we got together at the office. You were a big part of helping me in my business. Thank you for your friendship I will miss you. Brandon Horton

Loved Tom as a fellow BellSouth employee and later as a neighbor. Our favorite times were sharing laughter and meals with Tom, Brenda, Hazel, and Abby. Loved the Oyster Stews that Hazel always advised Bren and Patsy how to prepare. Tom will forever be missed. But we will see each other again in the Kingdom.

Sending love & prayers❤️

"We are living in a world that is absolutely transparent and God is shining through it all the time. God manifests Himself everywhere, in everything-in people and in things and in nature and in events...I have no program for being able to see this...it is only given. But the gate of heaven is everywhere." -Thomas Merton Tom was one of those through whom God shone because he could see God in everything and everyone. Well done, good and faithful servant. May perpetual light shine upon you!

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
