Our hearts and thoughts are with you during this difficult time
Tom, It was a pleasure working with you. I learned alot from you and you were allways a good friend to me. You will be greatly missed.
My thoughts and prayers are with the family. As part of his extended family here at Jim Barkley Toyota, I am missing him terribly. He always made my days brighter. My father and uncles went to school with Tom, (Steve, (my dad) Kenny and Zane Davis, my uncles) they all send their condolences as well.
Tom was such an inspiration to me. He was a pleasure to work with. He taught me so much in such little time. He opened his heart up to me and really became a true friend. I will miss all those stories that Tom used to tell. He will always be in my thoughts and prayers. And to his family may God comfort you at this of sorrow. I am glad to have been able to say that Tom Moore was my friend.
Dear Wanda and family,
We were very shocked to hear of Tom’s passing. Steve and I both have known him so many years. The ‘old Toyota crowd’ he called us.
I ran into Tom a few months ago, he had changed so little over the years. He was good man. He loved you, and his family very much. I haven’t seen you since high school. But never forgot the those years.
God Bless you and your family in this most difficult time.
We, will miss Tom as well. As will MANY people he has helped and come to know over all the years at Toyota.
Please know your in our prayers & in our hearts.
Wanda and family,
We are all saddened fo hear of Tom’s death…..
May God’s still small voice speak to you in time of your loss….and may his memory live on forever in your hearts…….
to the family of Tom Moore. I’ve known Tom since 1972 when he was service mgr. of the Dealership on Tunnel Rd. He was honest as a technician, service mgr. and finally as a salesman. This is what made him what he was. He’s the only car salesman I’ve ever trusted and could depend on for the truth and never worried when I needed to know the facts. I’m saddened and very sorry for the family at this time. He was a good person and he’ll be missed.
Shane u r in our thoughts and prayers.Steve and Donna Williams
Tom was in my high school graduating class. We had many friends between us, and I always regarded him as one of my very closest. I will miss him very much.
Dear Wanda & Family,
I just learned of Tom’s unexpected passing yesterday, I was in Florida at the time of his passing. I worked with Tom at Jim Barkley for over 5 years and was very sorry to hear of his passing. I have seen Tom several times lately at local businesses here in the community and will surely miss him. I always got a kick out of him aggravating Roy and Richard and I am glad that is how I will remember him. May the Lord give you comfort in this time of sorrow and comfort you and your family in the coming years, Eddie & Pat Atkins
