Melissa and family, I am so very sorry for your loss. Tom was a very dear friend when we were young. Through high school and for a while after graduation we ven shared an apartment, which I am sure you remember. We had a lot of good times together, but we grew up and grew apart. I remember bringing my girls to Paducah, KY I think it was to spend a weekend on the lake with you guys. So sad I did not work to keep in touch, he was such an amazing friend. I am very sad, I just found out tonight. I will be praying for you and your family. God Bless, Bob Mattsey

Tom was my husband Jeremy’s boss at NRTC in Lafayette, TN back in the early 2000s. It was because of the job offered and entrusted to Jeremy that I was able to stay at home with my girls to raise them. For that, I am forever grateful. It was that job that led Jeremy to the profession he is in today, offering services to and assisting Telecom businesses across the US, which we credit Tom with, for his leadership and support of Jeremy over the years. Tom was an extremely kind and generous person and I am thankful for the opportunities opened for our family to be in the place we are in today and most importantly, thankful to have known him. My thoughts and prayers are with Melissa, Aaron, Alexis and their families. Sending you my love!

I worked with Tom while I was an employee of the National Rural Telecommunications Cooperative and he was on the organization's Board of Directors. My sincere sympathies to Melissa and family for the loss of a kind, savvy and gracious man who was committed to the betterment of North Central telephone co-op members and his community. I have no doubt that he will leave a hole in the lives of his family and friends, but he will also be remembered as a man who made a difference. He was a true leader, in the best sense of the word. Rest in peace, Tom.
