Tom was very special to me. He was an extended family member. He has left a whole that is not replaceable. I'm glad your no longer suffering. Can't wait to see you on the other side. Love you.

So sorry prayers for the family

Prayers and blessings to the family. Knew Tom as an EMS student and colleague. One of the best! Rest easy my friend.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I worked with Tom many many years ago, and considered him a friend; in addition to "work family".

Mr Phillips was my band teacher. He believed in each and every one of us and motivated us to do more, and I think we are better people because of it. My deepest sympathy to all, he will truly be missed.

Prayers and comfort to the family now and always.

I remember the many runs we made as EMT's with Gallia County. He was a crack up. He loved his family and music. His dedication to each task will be missed. RIP.

My heartfelt condolences go out to his family. When I think of Tom, I can't help but smile. He was not only my band instructor in grade school and Jr High. He was also a lifelong friend. Though the years have gotten away from us, when we'd see each other, we'd pick up just like it was yesterday. He was a blessing to all who met him, a kind, gentle soul. Fly high my friend gone home. Love you!

Mr. Phillips was my grade school and junior high band teacher. Always the teacher and motivator. He is the reason I continued my band days all thru high school. I wanted to quit in Jr high and he convinced me better, and more fun, days were to come. He was SO right. Thank you Tom for believing in me when I didn't believe in myself. Truly a great man who will be forever missed.

You touched so many people's lives during your stay here on Earth. It was always a pleasure to be performing in the Christmas Cantatas with you and David ... we always knew that music would be up lifting for those who were listening. My thoughts are with those whom you have left behind... There isn't any way of filling the space that you have left . May God be with you Dave, Linda and all those who loved Tom. Cheryl Enyart
