I remember Tom as one of the most empathic and intelligent of physicians. It was not surprising to read that he was known for his sense of humor and kindness and that his life was full and well lived. It was certainly a privilege to have worked with him as a resident at Mt Auburn; he has left his mark.

I had the great pleasure of being in Tommy´s class at Whitman. I played drums and had many great times with him in high school so many years ago. He played in all possible bands, marching, dance and orchestras. He was an amazing state champion athlete as well. I was glad to have know Dan and spent lots of time at the house with them and their family. So glad we got to see each other at Whitman´s 50 year reunion. Rest in peace, Dr. Fuchs.

My deepest condolences to the family. I remember seeing his name show up in the ER at Reston Hospital and with one look at him it wasn´t hard to figure that he was one of the Fuchs boys from Kenwood Park. Of course he was way too young to know back when I was a teenager, and Jared was way older than me. But I knew Debbie well and met up with Danny in college, so we had a lot to discuss, including the facts that his father Marvin was a colleague of my father Ben, and practice partner for a...

Tom was my friend as a young RN through our ER days. He opened my eyes to what a bagel was ! He was a brilliant MD to his patients. He had a fabulous dry sense of humor and a love for sports especially the beloved Celtics. After he went back home to DC , I was fortunate enough to see him again and meet his lovely wife Susan. He was on my prayer chain having asked so many of friends to pray for him when at the NIH. He will be missed by many that touched their hearts.

We will always have Tom in our hearts and minds. It was a gift to know him and enjoy his company. Sending love and deepest condolences to Susan, Zach, Matt and all of his family.
