Thomas Eliot Frothingham

I miss you! I tell it to the air often. I still hear your little quips about life, even after so many years. Love you always, k michel

Tom, as the one year mark approaches, so many memories from over the years are still fresh in mind. From many holidays with good wine and great conversation, to a dinner on the perfect summer evening, around a dining table in Waban where the wine flowed and a love story was told that began in Egypt with yourself and Phyllis. To our last conversation on Christmas night 2010, accompanied by good cheer (as always). There are many memories that will be treasured.

I imagine a man that may...

Tom, you were an inspiration and source for much confidence for this young lady. I, for one, am and will remain saddened for the rest of my life to see you go...thank you for being you with me for many years of my life! I love you!

I knew Tom in Egypt, where he served in the US Naval Medical Research team, and also knew his late wife Phyllis, whom he met in Egypt. I recall his acerbic wit, and enjoyed one memorable trip into the desert at El Alemain, where countless live mines and burned out tanks added to the scenery.

Tom was a classmate, friend and fellow pediatrician. We recall our ski ascent of Shuksan Arm together and have Tom on video! Our sympathy to his family. Al and Sarah Skinner

Tom was a mentor to me when I spent a year and a half in Tom Weller's laboratory at the Harvard School of Public Health 1965-67. He was an incisive intellect and a caring physician. He was fun to be with and shared some skating stories when my daughter started to be excited about ice dancing at the Skating Club of Boston. Tom is one of my heroes.

We are so glad that we were able to spend time with him last year, such a wonderful man!
