"Tom was a friend of mine in high school. He was honestly one of the nicest kid you could ever meet. He was a great guy. I feel words can't describe how I felt when I heard he passed away. It's truly the worlds loss." ~  Jason  Lennerth, Sun city, Arizona

"I moved to Strongsville when I was young and I was concerned I wouldn't find any friends. I was blessed enough to move in across the street from the Keelings. Before the moving trucks even drove away Tom was in my yard, inviting me into his. This is a perfect example of the person Tom was. He was truly compassionate for others and a great friend. We learned so many of life's lessons while at each other’s side. Thank you Tom for serving & protecting us. My deepest sympathies go to your entire family. Until we meet again, to shoot a game of HORSE I'm sure!, God Bless." ~  Dave Murphy, Middleburg Heights, Ohio

"My family and I lived three houses down from the Keelings. I enjoyed occasional chats with Tom and Kristen; often while pushing my children in their stroller. Tom and I would like to talk Chicago Blackhawks hockey. Our heartfelt condolences go out to the entire family. They will be in our prayers." ~  1Lt. Gregory Phillips, Strongsville, Ohio

"Hey Tommy Boy, I have to say I still can't believe it. I have still remember the first time we met in home room in 10th grade. You were my best friend in high school that is for sure, I will never forget the great times we've shared and the mischief we caused in gym class and the nights we closed at the kitchen at Giant Eagle with Ken, yourself, & I. I am absolutely certain you are in a much better place right now and I hope to meet up with you at the gates of Heaven. It seems like God only allows the great ones to be in this world for a short time, I am so sorry buddy, I will never forget you and may God watch over your soul and I know we will meet up again in eternity. Thank you friend for being there for me during those difficult times in high school and being the best friend a person could have. Yours truly, Matthew Kichinka" ~  Matthew  Kichinka, Strongsville, Ohio
