Tom was a man with very high standards for himself and his family he was an honest straight forward man that demanded respect. Tom and Vikki were like parents to me . We have lost one of the few that told things as they were and didn't care who liked it or not! I will miss you very much friend rest in peace love you

I have known Tom for 10 years now. What I liked this man was fact that he didn't put up with a lot of crap and was a straight shooter. He was a very real person We will all miss him very much. My most sincere condolences to  Vicky and the rest of the family.

Tom was a man who demanded respect, I could see that the day that we were introduced. We became friends a short time after that. Our friendship only goes back about 10 years but I would say that he was a good friend. If I had to describe Toms personality in one word it would have to be "BOLD" wait, "STUBBORN" no, it has to be "BOLD". I always enjoyed the many stories that he would share about his Navy experiences. Vickie, Barbra, Danny and Pauline I'm sorry for your loss, I know he was a huge part of your family.  I can't believe he is gone. He will surely be missed.

I have so many memories of my family going to Aunt Pauline's.  Loved seeing Tommy, Billy and Patty.  Tommy and Billy were so mischievous.   Tommy was always the hotshot and Billy was the clown.  Loved them all very much.... and still do.   Vickie,  you were the best thing that ever happened to Tommy.  Sorry you lived so far away and I never knew the children but we will be  Cousins forever.          Elizabeth Seale McConnell (Fultondale, AL)

I met Tom some 15 years ago. I was a friend of his lovely daughter Barbara Adkins. My memories of tom were werent many but they were always pleasant. Always thought him and Vickie were very loving and caring parents and were always there for their children witch made me in awe of them. Im so sorry for your lose my lovelies, i know this pain all to well and i ask my heavenly father to send his angels to comfort you and get you through this trying time. If you guys need me, i am a phone call away. Love you and know, that this pain, to shall pass.. ❤❤❤

Vickie, I am so sorry for your loss. I remember when Tom and Sam were stationed on the same ship over 53 years ago.  No matter how much time we share with our loved ones, it is never enough.  My  thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.

Vickie - While I didn't personally know your husband, I felt like I did because of how fondly and often you spoke of him.  My hope is that your 51 years of memories and good times are enough to soothe your heart until you are united again.

You are in my heart and my prayers.

Tommy, as I call him, is the elder of my two very special brothers. I idolized both brothers growing up and I love them both dearly.  I will miss him, but I know I will see my "Duke of Earl" one more time when God takes me home. Until that day I know Tommy is in awesome hands.   My thoughts are with Vickie, Barbara and Dan, may God bless you

Tommy will always be remembered and, in my heart, I know that he is in a better place.

 Vickie our relationship has been a weird one,I believe is how you put it, Barb you have been one of, if not my best friend for a long time, my heart aches for you all , Danny included , You have all been through a lot good and bad. I have a lot of love for you all and will be here for you today, tomorrow , forever. Tom will be missed more than words can say, by many, but he will never be forgotten - he was a very knowledgeable & unique man who if you were fortunate enough to have known him , hopefully you paid attention and learned something from him cause he was full of knowledge                                                                                                                                                     Love & Respect Always

My heart and prayers go out to you and your family.

From my perspective, Tom was a force to be reckoned with, but yet he had a huge heart, and would do anything he could for you, if possible. I was once on the receiving end of that help, and I will be forever grateful! May your light shine brightly, always,Tom, as you look down upon your loved ones still here on earth! 
                                                 Sincerely, Carol Gillert
