Address: Ft Mitchel, KY 41017Tom was like a second dad to me
I spent so many summers at Tom’s house growing up as a teenager and into adulthood. He was always someone I could come talk to when I had troubles. He was always quick with a joke to make me laugh and was never shy to tell me when I was wrong, he was like a second father to me. Tom will always be remembered and always be missed. Rest easy Tommy, I love ya ole man. -Cody
Tom always kidded me
Tom was like a brother to me. He always found humor in the every day life. He always could quote Seinfeld shows. He could
remember funny sayings from movies and shows and relay it back to our everyday lives.There is much more I
could say..it was an honor to be married into The Mackie Family. They are such good people. Angela Mackie-Steve’s wife
Tom
Tom was a special kind of person that always made time for you. I first met him when I played golf in high school and knew him through his career at Kenton County. I would occasionally see him at the shell station in independence as recent as 3 weeks ago and he still had that big smile and positive attitude as always.
Rest in peace Tom
