L. Thomas Lakin

Tom was such a great person. I met him through my father, Jimmie Weger. He never let me down and went out of his way for alot of people. Love that man. Sorry I don't live locally and just saw this today January 22, 23.

I met Tom when I was a Deputy for the Madison County Sheriff´s Office in 1970. He was always down to earth and spoke freely with me and other officers, unlike so many attorneys who could be a little aloof. I will always remember him as happy and kind to everyone! Rest in Peace my friend!

I first met Tom when he used to throw a party at the river industry softball tournament in valley Park. Got to know him better when our sons played hockey together and he was always there for his son's games. Definitely a complicated and brilliant person who I respected more because of the love he had for his children than anything else he accomplished. RIP

Tom and my husband Carl Runge were friends for 50 years. Tom has always been so special to us. My thoughts are with his lovely family.

My friend, Tom's commitment to his clients and his dynamic personality led to key leadership roles in the practice of law and in other causes that he sustained. My sympathy to Tom's family.

I have so many fond memories of my time with you and work at the Lakin Law Firm. You were one if not the very best employer I ever had. You were generous and truly cared for all of us. Heaven has gained an Angel. Prayers for peace to the family and you have my deepest sympathy.
