I was a student of Tom’s. He was a kind and patient man and always a gentleman. He affected many lives for the better. He will be missed by many of his former students. My heart goes out to his family.
Many good memories from Wells reunion days and more…. He was a special person and a favorite of Dad’s. Love and prayers are with all of you!
I’m so sorry to hear of this. Dad would love to come to the service but he is just not able to make the trip. Our thoughts and prayers go with you. Pamela Jolly
Dear Mary Ann, Our lives were definitely blessed and enriched when we met you and Tom by chance at the Calgary Stampede in 1990! We treasure our memories of camping and visits we shared over the past 25 years. Just thinking of Tom brings his infectious chuckle to mind. He was a wonderful man and friend and we will miss him dearly! We’re on a 3 mo. RV trip in AZ right now and would like to call and talk to you. Please have someone email us your ph. no. as I don’t have it with me. Thank you! love, Vivian and Jim McFarland. Calgary, Alberta, Canada
I am so sorry to hear the news about your Dad. My thoughts are with all of you at this time.
We are all very saddened by the passing of a such wonderful man. Our hearts are so broken for you all. Praying for comfort and peace that passes all understanding that only our wonderful Lord can give.
We love you all,
The Hargrove Family
My sincerest condolences to Wells family. May you take comfort in the words at Revelation 21:3,4, which promises a time when ‘death will be no more, neither will mourning, nor outcry, nor pain be anymore.’ God will surely fulfill this promise and comfort you during this difficult time.
I was very saddened that Mr. Tom Wells had passed, but very pleased he is with our Lord. May your hearts be filled with gladness that one day you all will be together again. Mr. Wells was a wonderful teacher and co-worker. I have missed him since he retired. Was glad to see him at one of our Christmas Luncheons.
God Bless All
My love and prayers are with you today. Lots of fond memories of growing up and visiting at the Well’s home.
