My Wife Carol and Me

Hello Sons and Daughters of Tom Karst, Tom and I attended St Agnes grade school together. He and I were always very good students- we never got into trouble or caused disruptions. We often helped some of our classmates that needed a push to get it correct. I do not recall if Tom completed education at St Agnes, perhaps he moved- Bob Heindel was the artist in our class, He too became very famous as an
illustrator and publisher. Bob passed a few years ago. Anyway we were friends all...

Tom Karst and John McSweeny, circa 1984 at the Karst home.

Tom was the person who recruited me to join the Psychiatry Department at the Medical College of Ohio (MCO) in 1981. His death is a major loss to me personally as well as to the MCO/UT community. He was a kind and decent person who will be missed but also remembered by his many friends and colleagues as having a positive influence on their lives. Good-bye Tom; we are better off to have known you.

The Deagle family always thought of Tom, Barb and all the kids( Laura,Linda,Kenny and Sarah) as family. We will miss Tom but know that he is with his beloved wife Barb so that makes Toms passing bittersweet for me.

I worked for Dr. Karst at The Medical College in the early seventies. He was a very kind, caring person with a smile for everyone. I remember his tweed sport coat. May your wonderful memories comfort you in the days to come.

We are thankful we had the opportunity to spend a little time with Tom and Carol this summer. The Patthoff kids had gathered at Denny & Joan's on the lake. We reminisced about Delphos & the farm. The afternoon brought back many great memories from our younger years. I will remember him as a gentle & kind person.
