Not sure what to say?

My sister Helen informed me today that Thomas Bollin passed away. Our family lived next door the Bollins on 2115 Ontario Street Toledo. He was a go getter and an accomplice person in all his endeavors. With sincere regrets of his passing away. Thomas Sefferly Washington, DC

i will miss you so much, Tom I will always remember your witt, and definitely your charm and how you would tell me if a restaurant was good or bad when you went out to dinner, we all have a special guardian angel now God Bless Love Brenda (Receptionist)

Tom and I shared many great adventures including watching Ohio State win over Michigan-twice. He was wonderful to work with at Lorain Schools and always had a smile. I have not seen him in many years and hope his last days were peaceful. I will always think of him kindly and as a friend. May he find his way to the angels.

Mr. Bollin treated students in always the same manner - that is he made everone feel that they were the only ones that matter. I am so glad that he was my freshman home room teacher.

If I can find one, I'll toast my old buddy tonight with a Stroh's beer (his favorite in the long-time-ago). Lots of good memories of a great guy. Hope family and friends are well.

Wonderful teachers achieve a kind of immortality through their students. Tom was such a kind, smart, and encouraging mentor to all the theatre kids at DeVilbiss in the late '60s! 54 years later, I'm still treading the boards. Thank you, Tom.

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.
