Thomas Prentice Hyde

Tom and I were classmates at Deerfield. He was highly respected! When the class had coming reunions, Tom always created a reunion yearbook, which really helped drive attendance. One of my favorite stories is about Tom and Peter. When Tom announced the it was time for Peter to join the family tradition and attend Deerfield, Peter balked. Tom announced "You're not fourteen and and me forty for nothing! I know more than you. You are going, case closed!" One fall day I encountered Peter...

I was sad to find out that Doctor Hyde had passed from this life. He was my two childrens' (Lian and Emerick) doctor for most of their childhood until we moved out of the area. He was an excellent doctor and a very sweet and kind person. I never knew how impressive a background he had until reading his Obituary which speaks to his humility and unpetentiousness. Thank you Dr Hyde for your many years of service to Berkshire families and may God grant you peace.

Tom and I were classmates at Deerfield. He was always interested in members of our class, serving as author of our 25th reunion yearbook. I remember him as softspoken and always cheerful which helped the rest of us along.

I remember Tom so well as a friend in Junior High School then over the summers during high school (I went to BCC (Bethesda-Chevy Chase), but did not graduate as I was an exchange student to Germany my senior year) and visiting him at Yale then later in Williamstown, MA. If memory serves me right, it was he, I, and two others (Will Foster & Bernie Davis) who were his hiking partners in Shenandoah National Park where we "bagged Old Rag" (the mountain's name) -- very fond memories indeed. If I...

I Am so sorry for the Family of Doctor Hyde. I Will always fondly remember him as a child, being my Doctor and very sweet and kind man, who took great pride and care for his patients. I hope the Family can take great Comfort in knowing he was a very respected man in the community.

Such a kind and caring doctor. He was my children´s pediatrician their entire childhoods. In fact, after they graduated from college, the office had to gently ask them to find doctors that treated ADULTS, because I think they would have stayed with Dr. Hyde forever! And, by the way, we traveled up from Pittsfield in sickness and in health-he was that wonderful. Our deepest sympathy to the family of this special man.

My deepest sympathies to the Hyde Family & Friends. We will miss you Dr. Hyde, Thank You for your excellent and thoughtful care of my five children. R.I.P. Dr. Hyde Bless You

Dr.Hyde was my children´s pediatrician for many years until he retired. God bless his family.
