Some years back I got a phone call from Tom at 10:30 p.m. He had been working all day in the summer heat (probably for days!) and stated that he was leaving his last job for the day, but since our home was on his way home he'd be happy to top off our freon on our air conditioner and give us some relief from the sweltering heat. He went that extra mile when he didn't have to, and we were grateful... He took care of our house and my wife's daycare and believe me, we truly liked his work ethic and recommended him to anyone who spoke about having AC or heat problems. RIP for Tom, and heartfelt condolences for his friends and family. I'm sure he's missed by many...
1 of the hardest working men I've ever known...Tommy would forever work late & in all kinds of crazy heat making sure my A/C (because, I mean this IS Texas) was working. I think of him every time I look at my compressor or change my filter and am thankful for all the years he took care of me as a client and a friend. What a guy! Paula, my prayers have been & will continue to be with you! He loved y'all so much. Sending endless hugs your way!
Love, Sarah van Reenen
Tommy took care of our AC. Worked with Paula at Farmers Ins. Deepest sympathies for Paula, boys and family
I remember the day I met Tom. Was visiting an old friend, who passed away a few years ago now, and Tom stopped by. He was excited that he was going to open his own business the next week. From that day on he was a good friend and my air conditioning go to man. I got him set up to take care of my company’s heating and air conditioning and before long I had him doing industrial work on special equipment that we manufactured. He was still doing jobs for them and also taking care of my personal service after I retired. We always had a friendship, more like a brother friendship, and could share any personal problems, sad or happy. I will certainly miss those times.
Rest in peace Brother, I’ll see you again as we always said. Love you Bud.

Tommy was that friend that came to your rescue whenever you needed him. Whether that was to fix your a/c, water heater or to mow your lawn. It’s been several years since we’ve seen Tommy and Paula, but vacationing in Mexico with them, will be a memory we will cherish. Paula, Dillon and Ryan, our hearts are with you and I am so sorry for your loss. Love to you all. Tim and Nicole Vandegriff
I'm so sorry for this loss of such a smart and industrious man. He was a great friend to myself, my husband and all 3 of my boys for 32 years. My prayers and sympathy for Paula and the boys and all family and friends. ❤️🙏
Wow, what a flood of memories from the time we first met at Farmers' claims office all those years ago....Paula and family, deepest condolences!!
I was a customer for many years. He was such an honest and hardworking man. He provided excellent service. Such a loss. Prayers for his family
Tommy was the most selfless angel when it came to fixing your AC unit. I’ll never forget when ours went out and it was freezing outside with a newborn. He came to us in a completely different town, on a Sunday night, in the rain to look at it! 🩷
