Godfather Will be Truly Missed By Many. I Am Really Sad That I Have Lost A Friend That Has Had A Special Place In My Heart For 5 Plus Years. I Am Going To Miss All The Conversations And Hugs
Megan & Jodi: So sorry to hear about your dad/grandpa. Will miss his presence at our dance events. Thinking of you. Tracy Knox
To the family: I am JoEllen"s cousin from Taylorville. I remember Tom as a young man newly married and very happy and in love with JoEllen. They were a beutiful couple and epitomized Christian values. His children and everyone who knew and loved him are very fortunate to have him as a friend and father. I will keep you in my prayers and thoughts.Carolyn Minix
I truly feel honored to have known (Tom) Godfather, He was a terrific guy. Loved hearing his stories about the family. He loved his family so much, you could see the pride shine in his eyes as he told a story. He will be missed by so many. Rest in peace Tom.
Mary Kay, My sympathies to you and your family.

Uncle Tom will be greatly missed. Remembering all the great times at the lake. We will never forget you. Vicki Bornick (Griffin)
I just wanted to tell you how much I love and respect Mr. Tom. I enjoyed working with him and looked forward to the days he'd be there. I love him like a favorite uncle. He will be much missed. I tell everyone that he was a man that commanded, not demanded, respect just by the virtue of who he was as a person. My thoughts and prayers are with you, as well as my heart.
