Wilma and family - Tom will be missed, and our prayers are with you. He had a great smile and a kind and gentle personality. In business and sports he will be remembered as a true professional. Traveling with him to and from Tuscaloosa, he would always talk proudly to me about family, work and officiating. He was a good friend to many and was a mentor to his colleagues and many high school and collegiate athletes. What a proud legacy.... Rest in peace, Tom.

I was fortunate to work many football and basketball games with Tom and learned a great deal about officiating and dealing with players and coaches from him. He was a great official, teacher, mentor, leader, and friend. I will always be greatful for the his leadership and the things he taught me. Mrs. Powers, peace be with you and your family.

Dear Wilma and family, My sincerest condolences to all of you. After having worked with Tom at Cahill Co. for many years, I came to know him as a wonderful colleague, mentor and friend. He always spoke of his family with such pride. It is clear he has left us far too early. My prayers and thoughts are with you all now, and I share in your loss. Sadly, Donna Berry

Thank you Lord for letting me get to know a man who had faith in a young black male. Tom "Mr.Powers" as I always called him, gave me an oppurtunity to officiate in Louisiana. When I didn't have a uniform he went out his way to make sure I made it on the field of play with it on. I appreciate Mr. Powers so very much in this one year of knowing him. Mr.Powers is an angel in my eye an also in heaven. Thank God for Mr. Tom Powers

My heartfelt condolences and prayers go out to the Powers family on your loss. Tom was a mentor to so many officials and, on only the recommendation from someone he respected, was willing to take me on his AIC crew 25 years ago and open the door for me to be able to officiate college football. For that, I have always been grateful. Rest in peace, Tom, and thank you for all those you have helped.
