Sandra and Zack. I’m terrible sorry for your loss. I loved talking to Tom with all his humor. He will be missed. He was a great man.
I am so sorry for your loss. Tom set a wonderful example of a family man. I always loved the way he loved you, Sandra and then the love he had for all us Killingsworths was so genuine. I think that’s the best word to describe Tom is “genuine”. Love and hugs to all
Tom was a great nephew! He and I and other relatives and friends enjoyed his sense of humor tremendously.
Another thing we enjoyed together was catching fish with family and friends.
We ask God to bless Tom’s family through the days ahead. He will be truly missed.
