The staff at loudonfootball.com wishes to express its deepest condolences to the family of Tom Nichols over his death on March 30, 2004. Tom, survived by his wife Kaye, was a well-known and much-loved member of the Loudon community and will be missed by many.

Tom was a 1953 graduate of Loudon High School and played for the Redskins for four years. He leaves a legacy of football through his children Jeff and Quinn.

Jeff, the current Loudon Quarterback Club president, played for the '74 and '75 Redskin championship teams. He has two sons who are also carrying on the Nichols football tradition: Jacob, who is a current Loudon Redskin; and Jeffrey, who plays for the LQC Indians.
Tom's daughter Quinn Black, a '74 Loudon graduate, is married to three-year Redskin letterman Joe Black. Joe played for the Redskins in '68, '69, and '70. They have a daughter, Whitney, and a son, Nick, who won a state championship at Maryville and went on to play for Clemson University.
