Tom always had a warm smile and firm handshake whenever I would see him at church or when I was walking my dog in the Waters neighborhood. He lived his life for the Lord and always followed in His footsteps. Tom was my roommate at the Promise Keepers weekend in Dallas back in the 90's. That was a very rewarding weekend for all who went. My condolences to the White family and to all who loved him.Bill Staton
