At the time of his death, he was still serving the roofing community, using his decades of experience to consult as senior vice president of sales and marketing at TAMKO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rock represented TAMKO to its customers and the entire asphalt roofing industry with honesty, integrity, and refreshingly remarkable wit. One of his favorite pieces of advice, \u201cWhen you make up your mind to go a certain direction, do it. Don\u2019t let anyone change your mind.\u2026 Until you figure out that you\u2019re going the wrong way \u2013 then turn the hell around and go back the other way.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTom Rock\u2019s wisdom and thoughtful advice spanned decades and his lasting impact on TAMKO has left a legacy of respect for his leadership and wise counsel with a profoundly positive influence, not only on TAMKO, but also on those fortunate enough to know and work with him, and to call him \u2018friend\u2019,\u201d says David Humphreys, TAMKO Chairman and CEO, and longtime friend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Work History<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>In the 1970s, Rock was one of only a few GAF territory managers, and was responsible for sales in the northeast, including Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York. In 1980, Rock left GAF to become TAMKO\u2019s northeast sales manager. In 1987, Rock returned to GAF for one year, a period that Humphreys affectionately refers to as \u201cTom\u2019s year abroad.\u201d Rock returned to TAMKO in 1988 as a district sales manager, then served as TAMKO vice president of sales and marketing from 1993 until 1997, and thereafter as senior vice president of sales and marketing until his death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What is not immediately reflected in a standard listing of Rock\u2019s work history is that he responded to the call to lead TAMKO\u2019s sales and marketing at the difficult and tumultuous times immediately following the sudden death of longtime TAMKO President J.P. Humphreys, the second-generation family leader of the company. Rock provided David Humphreys, the newly-appointed TAMKO CEO at the time and the third generation of the family to lead TAMKO, with wise and thoughtful advice and honest feedback. Under Rock\u2019s sales leadership, TAMKO sales revenues doubled and, more importantly, he built an outstanding TAMKO sales team, and developed future sales leaders who now represent his lasting legacy at TAMKO (including current TAMKO Vice President of Sales and Marketing Stephen McNally).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTom was one of a kind \u2013 a mentor, a good leader, and a great friend,\u201d McNally says. \u201cHe hired me, taught me how to be each of those things and set me on my path. For that, I am forever grateful.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On behalf of TAMKO\u2019s customers, employees, shareholders, the Humphreys family, the roofing industry at large, and all those who had the privilege of working with Tom Rock over the course of his long and distinguished career, we recognize Rock\u2019s lasting contributions to TAMKO and the roofing industry, we mourn his death, and extend our sincerest condolences to his children and to all of his family and friends.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With nearly 50 years in the roofing industry, Tom Rock was a respected salesman and corporate leader who spent his career at TAMKO Building Products LLC and GAF.
