Thomas P. Dalton was a very generous and accomplished man, and, as I know, a wonderful uncle. In his understated way, he cherished and nurtured family. I had the pleasure of working two summers at a company where Uncle Tom then was employed as an engineer. He was held by all in the highest esteem for his intellect, professionalism, and as a gentleman. He will be greatly missed.

Dear Uncle Tucker,

My earliest childhood memories of are you, your dry and sometimes wicked sense of humor and your delight in all of your children, nieces and nephews. There were Easter bunny sightings, elephant hunts in the wilds of Foxboro and fishing trips at dawn. During my long illness you were a constant, loving and supportive of me and my family. And my mother adored you, high praise indeed.

Steven and I send are heartfelt condolences and prayers to Joan, Claire, Rosemary, Barry and Carol. We know the enormity of your loss. Uncle Tucker was a wonderful man, father, husband and uncle. God bless you all.
