I'm so sorry to hear about Judge Dempsey. He was a client of mine for over 25 years. I've been thinking about him often and was saddened to hear of his passing. He was such a great man.

I first met Tommy while golfing at Overbrook Country Club. We were both taking advantage of "Caddie Day" golf. He was a pure gentleman and a much better golfer than me. My condolences to the Dempsey family.

Uncle Tom..Longing for one more day when we lose someone we love it seems that time stands still. A longing for one one more day..one more word..one more touch. We may not understand why you left this earth so soon,or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye,but little by little,we begin to remember not just that you died,but that you lived. And that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget. We will see you again some day,in heavenly place where there is no parting. A place there are no words that mean good-bye

I am so sorry to hear of Tom passing. No matter how busy he was, whenever I saw him he would always stop to say Hello, and ask how my Mom was doing. Truly a nice guy. The world will be a sadder place without him.

Dear Larry and members of the Dempsey family:
I was saddened to learn of the death of your dear brother, father, husband, grandfather, and uncle, the Honorable Thomas Dempsey. At times such as these, words are unable to carry the full message of comfort and consolation which we want them to bear, but they are all we have. Having experienced the death of my own father in 1995, I am aware of the deep emotions which accompany such a loss. Be sure of continued remembrance of him in my prayers and those of all the Brothers at St. Mary's Hall.
May the Lord continue to hold you and all his family in the hollow of his hand and may you find his comforting presence in the silent power of prayer, in the wisdom of the Scripture, the nourishment of the Eucharist, the beauty of the liturgy, and in all his holy people gathered round you to help you.
I join my voice to the ancient hymn of the early Church:
May the angels lead him into Paradise.
May the martyrs come and welcome him on his way
And lead him into the holy city, Jerusalem.
May the choirs of angels welcome him.
And with Lazarus, who once was poor,
May he have everlasting life. Amen.
I close with the traditional prayer which we Brothers have prayed for over three hundred years:
Live Jesus in our hearts--Forever.
With sympathy and promise of prayers,
Your Brother,

Eddie
