Thomas Fogarty

Peg:

Our deepest sympathy is extended to you and your children. We have many fond memories of Tom and Cursillo. His explanations of topics was insightful. We still go to St Catherine"s and the corner house will always be the "Fogarty's House", and we have many fond memories of you, Tom, and children living there.

Tom, Frank Feigl and I were fellow graduates from Notre Dame, Class of '58. All nerds, no doubt, but with a special twist, an abiding concern for our communities, especially the members who were often excluded from its broad benefits. Though we never met as a group since graduation, we have traveled parallel paths, attempting to level the playing field for educational access.
It is with deep regret that we could not share an embrace at ND this year at our 50th reunion. Maybe next...

I am deeply saddened to hear that Tom died. I met him through Frank Feigl because we shared active interest in radiation effects. Though all of our interactions were through professional interest, it would be impossible to know Tom and not feel enormous respect and affection. He was rightfully proud of the program he built at Prairie View- proud of the technical achievements in the group and proud of the opportunities he brought to the school. His dedication to the science and to what he saw...

I heard about Tom Fogarty when I was in graduate school – my graduate advisor was Frank Feigl, a contemporary and good friend of Tom’s. After I came to the University of Houston, I worked with Tom and CARR on radiation damage in MOS devices, and I learned a very great deal from him. In addition to providing some of my early research funding, he was a mentor in many ways: I learned a great deal about conducting research, as well as about mentoring students. He had a refreshing honesty about...

I have very many fond memories of Dr. Tom Fogarty. He was a real gentleman and a very sincere friend. I enjoyed being around this wonderful man. Our friendship lasted for more than 20 years. I have lost a very dear friend and a wonderful colleague. He cared, he gave and was never tired of helping whoever came to him with any sort of problems. A true human being! He will be missed greatly by all of us who came in contact with Tom.
May his soul rest in peace!

I had the privledge of knowing Dr. Thomas Fogarty as a scientist and engineer for quite a few years, through scientific meetings and collaboration. Tom was a really good guy, always kind, considerate of others, a pleasure to work with.

He contributed greatly to PVAMU in ways that were obvious to anyone. He almost certainly contributed more in ways not so obvious to the outside world. He was always thinking about what was best for the students and often figured out how to...

My deepest condolences to the Fogarty Family. Tom was an amazing person, friend and mentor, he taught me a lot growing up as a kid. He and Mrs. Fogarty were real human beings, always willing to listen and advise, never to judge. I have a lot of great memories growing up around the Fogarty's. I learned a lot about life from Tom. He touched many people in his lifetime. A great person who will be greatly missed.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.
