Mrs. Florence and Ann, My aunt mailed me the obituary for Tommy from the newspaper. I am so sorry for your loss. I will always remember you and Ann coming to my Dad's service in 1994. Though you may not see people on a regualr basis you know the people that touched your life. Living on Leicester in the early fifties means Ann has to be one of my "oldest" friends! Know you are in my thoughts and prayers. Karen Martin (Mary and Jack's daughter)

Tom was a real individual to me. His characteristic gentle nature and smile made me feel very welcome at the Atrium. At the same time, he was very adamant about doing his job correctly. Those two traits told me that he owned a delicate balance of how to deal with customers at The Atrium Pharmacy. In addition he confided to me his appreciation for Handel's Messiah which conveyed to me that he was a religious man. My Dad and Mom and I will sorely miss him.

I was so sorry to read of Tom's death. I knew him professionally, working with him while on the medical staff at DePaul. He was always friendly, knowledgeable and helpful to me and to my staff in the office and I'm sure there are many who will miss him. My sympathy to the entire family.
