Mr. O´Brien, you were a source of strength for me in my early college years visiting your family. You were also connected with my parents in your early years in St Charles School and in the Mission District. Thank you for getting to know you and this support!

I remember Tom in the 1970's and maybe into the 880's when I had the chance to see him as a man who had a good sense of humor. It was nice to be around him. He kept his report around a big house hold of kids and neighbors. I miss him. May he be at peace in his long rest. I extend my sorrow at his passing and his life of fun and always remembering my parents who he knew at St Charles Grammar School. Thank you Tom for your hospitality when my household didn't offer me much, I needed more fun. Thank you. Take good care, the O'Brien family. You were one of my life savers as I grew up to be able to visit you.

To the O'Brien's, I am saddened to hear the news of the Father of the large brood's passing. He was a good, loving person. Much appreciated to visit the family in the late sixties and maybe early seventies as one of my second homes'. I send my sincere sympathies to the O'Brien family and hope they have peace and love in his memory as a great, supportive and loving Father, Grandfather and Great grandfather and friend. I also pass on my sympathies to the others who have passed on. I did not hear of their deaths. Take good care, all of you!!!
