Dr. LaPlaca, who I knew in our high school years as Tommy, was so kind to me during my father's last days in 2001. I often recall my interaction with him as direct, thoughtful and calming. So sorry that this good man was not able to enjoy many more years, but wanted to let you know that he made a difference and is remembered.

Our dear Tommy has learned to bear the beams of Love and to radiate those beams while he was with us.
My prayers are with you, his beloved Linda, Eda and Anthony. Now that He is in the arms of Love I am sure he continues to be with you and holds you in his love.

Linda and family,
I am so sorry for your loss. Dr LaPlaca was one of the kindest doctors I have had the pleasure of knowing. I remember way back, when he was caring for his patients at the hospital and a lady he discharged did not have a ride home. He happily transported her and made sure that she was settled. He also took great care of me when I had my babies. He was always cheerful and had great compassion. Last time I saw him, he was excited about retirement. I am sorry that he was...
