Wonderful Man..Tremndous Mentor

I remember going up to Tom's house to rent some gear. He took me overto his barn and swung open the doors. Whoa! That guy had some audio gear. All of it in perfect working condition. He took the time to show me around. Then he went over to his safe and pulled out his scrapbook. I rolled my eyes to myself.

Where would Lyric Theatre Company be without Tom? A monumental talent, a dear friend and a great story teller. We will miss him deeply. Our sympathy to all of the McKenny family.

I hope I get to heaven because I really want to see him again. I am so grateful to have gotten the chance to meet this man. What a gift to everyone and to this world.

I was sorry to hear of Tom's passing. I "worked" with Tom in Lyric Theatre on several shows that he was sound designer/engineer and I was stage-manager. He was always great to work with. He will be missed. May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

Lollie and the entire McKenny clan, I am so saddened to hear of Tom's passing. I recall with great fondness the times we spent together doing sound reinforcement jobs and of course his technical assistance while I was a DJ. Tom taught me so much about the art of good quality sound, and he always did it in a kind, gentle manner. Tom was a gentleman, and I know he is missed by many. My sincere condolences you the McKenny family.
