Kay, I am so sorry to hear about Tommy. I happened to pull up Eakes Funeral Home and saw his obituary. I worked with Tommy at GTE. The last time I saw you and Tommy was at your Aunt Barbara McNeill's house. Tommy was a great guy. I know he will be missed by many. My Thoughts and Prayers Are With You! May God Give You Comfort, Peace and Strength During This Time of Sorrow! Sincerely, Hope Raynor

To Kay and the entire Pipkin family, I send my deepest sympathy. Tommy was such a precious soul. He was respected and loved by so many of us at GTE. I remember several times as he came to visit his dear friend, Billy Judd, in our office. Mr. Judd threatened to mess his hair up and Tommy always stood and never sat down because he knew his hair would get messed up. Great guy and will sincerely be missed.
