Thomas C. Blodgett

Tom was a bright star of our high school class. I remember well his wit and intellect, especially in our moments before school began. I was fortunate enough to meet him once more in the years after graduation. I regret not having had more opportunites. My condolences to his family and colleagues.

Crossing the Bar

Sunset and evening star,
And one clear call for me

I was a classmate of Tom at Assumption. He was a quiet scholar. My father attended our commencement and was very taken with Tom's valedictory speech. My prayers are with his family.

Thomas introduced me to so much "new" music (at least to me) while we were at Assumption. I thought of him every time I played my Jaime Brockett albums and whenever I visited a pizza joint in central MA.

Karen, Dan, Nick and Anika,
We were so saddened to hear about Thom's passing. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this sad time. Keep him near with loving memories of a life well lived with love.

Thom's quiet, deeply good humoured, wise presence in our class at Assumption was very important to us all. I am sure he carried his loving care to so many in your family. Bill and I will keep you all in our thoughts and prayers.

Tom and I were classmates at Assumption College. His room was next to mine our Freshman year. You couldn't find a kinder, gentler soul, and a better friend. His valedictory address at graduation drew a standing ovation from his classmates due to its sincerity and beauty. He had the respect and admiration of all who knew him, and I will keep him and his family in my prayers.

To Thom's familiy:
I am deeply saddened by Thom's passing. I lacked Thom's mathematical abilities (to say the least), but Thom was one of the many math whizzes at Assumption who desperately tried to tutor me. (I'm glad my perpetually dazed stares were never interpreted by him as a sign he was an inadequate math tutor). While I am still a "dolt" in math, I never forgot Thom's kindness, giftedness, thoughtfulness and humor. You, and he, will be in my prayers this Father's Day weekend and...

Please accept my deepest and sincerest condolences to the family. I will always remember Mr. Blodgett as the caring and eccentric man that he was.
