Sen. Thomas F. Eagleton

He was a fine man-a good friend to my Father, Alfred I. Harris, vice-President of the Board of Aldermen, St.Louis, Missouri and a loyal friend to many.

For Thomas...

Today you were in my thoughts.
This is for you.

WEEP NOT FOR ME


Do not weep for me when I no longer dwell among the wonders of the earth; for my larger self is free, and my soul rejoices on the other side of pain...on the other side of darkness.

Do not weep for me, for I am a ray of sunshine that touches your skin, a tropical breeze upon your face, the hush of joy within your heart and the innocence of babes in mothers...

Would that we had more like him.

may GOD continue to shine on your family for sen.thomas is at home now,your grieving will soon pass and sun will shine again.GOD bless

Tom and Barbara may have not made it to the White House, but their return to St.Louis helped to make our city a Lighthouse of informed opinion and civil discourse. Their example is a beacon of democratic enlightenment. The best tribute is to continue on in Tom's name with Barbara's continuing support and direction.

Upon hearing of the loss of Sen. Eagleton, I reflected on what he meant to me, and I realized that he is one of my heroes. It was my pleasure to volunteer for his campaign while in college in Columbia, MO in 1980, and I had hoped to work in his St. Louis office after graduation, but those positions were few and far between.

My sincere condolences to family and friends. He will be fondly remembered by all who were touched by him.

Please accept our condolences for your loss. He will be missed by many. Love & God Bless The Entire Family.He was a great man.

I want to extend my deepest condolences to Senator Eagleton's family and friends. While I did not know the Senator personally, as a life long St. Louisan, I've followed his career in public service both during and after his term in the Senate. Even in his "retirement" from public life, he was amazing example of what it means to fight for what you believe. He didn't just talk about the issues, he worked tirelessly to make our state and our country a better place. He inspired so many, including...

It was May 23, 1962, that Attorney General Eagleton signed my copy of the 1957-58 Official Manual of Missouri at a Gravois Township Democratic Club meeting. I was 17 at the time. He turned from the cover to sign on an inner page, because he did not feel he belonged with the company already there: Harry S Truman and Stuart Symington. That was one of the few times in his career that he erred. He fits in with that company perfectly.
