Not sure what to say?

I got to know Father (a little) when I moved to Williamsburg on the River in 2018. He would walk his dog Boomer in our neighborhood. I loved his dry wit. I have a dog whose name is Diego, but he would call him San Diego! He didn´t seem to like small talk, but I always felt he liked seeing me and my dog on his walks.

My Principal for at least two years at St. Wendelin. I cannot remember Father, just his name and face. I am very grateful to have hone to a Catholic school and we needed a principal. It was a time when all the teachers were lay teachers. From one year to the next. He was about 40 years old at the time. I am happy to hear he made it to the age of 90. May God be good to all of us. I do not know who kept the faith in our class. I know we were only about 75 from a high of 140 in Grade...

I enjoyed Fr. Gorman's sermons, he had a great way of pulling multiple topics together into a common theme, it was very engaging.

What a wonderful person and friend! I was fortunate to work for and with Fr. Tom at St John's, Delphos, Ohio. The job was the most worthwhile and I have fond memories of so many parishioners that I worked with during my 15 years there. I want to extend my thought and prayers to Julie and family, Sr Breta, fond memories of Rita and all his extended family. Peace and love, Trina Shultz.

The service today was just beautiful. I was so sad but everyone was so kind and lifted me up. Fr. Tom was the best and I (and sounds like lots of others ) will miss him dearly. Prayers for all his family and Gods blessing on you all.

Julie and Family so sad to read of Father Tom passing. Condolences to you at this time

Prayers for Fr. Tom's family. He leaves a legacy of joy and love... I have many good memories of masses and retreats in high school. I always felt welcome in his presence.

My daughter was in high school, and was asked to read the readings during Mass. The readings happened to be Corinthians 13: 4-8 that day about love,etc. Father was so moved by her expression of Scripture that he sent her flowers to school! Such a thoughtful and beautiful gesture by him!

Fr Gordon made my senior HS year the best. He treated us like the adults he wanted us to be. Good man. Better than most. Not forgotten.
