Two other unattributed newspaper clippings were published about him:
"Tom," as he was affectionately called by a host of intimate friends, always served his fellow man according to the golden rule. It was always his aim to give the most in material and service for the least consideration for himself. It was my very great pleasure to have, at one time for a period, been his customer for a vast amount of building material and note that service and value were his first consideration. He will be sadly missed for years to come.
The esteem in which Tom Honaker was held is demonstrated by a comment that appeared after his death in a News Letter sent to its dealers by the Joe W. Lambert, West Coast Lumber Sales that read as follows: We regret to record the death of Tom Honaker, well known and beloved proprietor [of] Honaker Lumber Company, Bellepoint, W.Va., whose passing was on March 16, after an extended illness. He had served and served well a great number of patrons from Summers and adjoining counties for over twenty-five years.
He married Verdia Mary Keaton. Born 1 Feb 1904 in Pipestem, W.Va. Died 20 May 1979 in Bluefield, W.Va.
