THINKING of you.
LOVING you.
MISSING you.

Please accept my deepest sympathies on the loss of your beloved.  There are never any right words to express how deeply sad I am for the pain your family is enduring at this difficult time.    

As Chair of the Senate Committee on Veteran Affairs and Military Installations, I am sincerely thankful for his valiant service in defense of our rights and freedom.

His commitment to family, friends, our community, and to serving our great nation leaves a wonderful legacy.  May the love and the wonderful memories you shared with him help you when you need it most. He will never be forgotten, and your family will be remembered in my prayers.

You will be missed by many, Uncle Tom. I echo my mom's sentiments...even though my visits to Texas were few and far between...you always made me feel welcome the moment I arrived. I always enjoyed our chats at the kitchen counter with a nice cup of coffee (instant, of course). Love, Heather

Jean & I are very sorry for your loss. Tom was agreat man. Sorry that we could not make the viditation as we had a family health emergency come up.

No matter how many years there were between our visits, I could always come to your house, sit at the breakfast bar with you on the other side and we would talk for hours.  Of course Donna had already pooped out and was in bed by 9!  A wonderful memory that I will always hold dear to my heart.  Love you Tom.  Karen

You was one of the best true friends I've ever had. You will be missed here.  Earl and Donna, Blanco,Tx.

Chief Tom Gentry was one of the greatest instructors I ever knew. He was my brother TI in BMT. He was a great friend, particularily, when you needed him. He has left a legacy in the Air Force that is unmatched and will continue to help it for many generations to come. I give thanks to the Lord that He blessed me with Tom's friendship.

Rachel and I will always remember "Chickens, Golf Cart, Uncle Tom".  As we head into the next couple of months and Rachel begins her journey of raising chickens we both will think of Uncle Tom often.  Our thoughts are with you Aunt Donna, Travis, Cynthia and your familys.  It wasn't very often we got Uncle Tom in a posed picture and when I found this one it made me smile.  Love to all of you.

Cynthia, Mrs. Gentry and Travis,
My heart goes out to all of you. Mr. Gentry always made me laugh and feel welcome in your home. My family and I send our deepest sympathies. Love you all.

We were great partners - always lots of laughs.

Tom, you were a fighter and not just in military service.  You've been through months of illness lying in a hospital bed.  Now you can be with God, happy and healthy.

I love you Uncle Tom....you will be missed.  Never forgotten and always remembered as the "snickerdoodle hoarder".  Love, TM
