Dr. Thomas M. Lembo

Thom was a friend of mine at SUNY Brockport around 1973. He was such as nice guy, and far more sensible than the rest of us. I am sorry to hear of his passing. The years go by too quickly.

I am Chrissy, the youngest cousin of the nine in the Lembo family. Being youngest meant I got to be the family pest and get away with it. I will always remember Thom as “Tommy”, the older cousin who did not allow his brothers, “Ricky” and “Stevie” to thrash me when I was being more annoying than usual. My brother, Matt, and sister, Patty, were the Florida cousins so when we came to New York for a visit Tommy had to instruct us about winter weather. We borrowed parkas and gloves and made our...

Dear Susan, we sure will miss him
I'll remember him at Steven's
wedding cutting up and having a great time. Sorry we didn't
get to see more of each other.

Aunt Mary and Cousin-In-Law Susan,
His presense filled the room with laughter. My best memories are of Thom and his brothers competing for laughs around the dinner table when we were kids. His wit, and kind soul will be missed but never forgotten. Love to you both, Patty

It is times like this, when we lose a friend and commerade that we stop to think about how short and precious life is. I often thought about Thom and many of our other classmates, colleagues and friends but was always "too busy" to keep in close contact. Life is too short and we need to make time for each other. I wiil miss Thom very much, even though I havent seen in him sometime, the thought of him just being, was enough. I will remember our times as student representatives and all the...

I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your husband, please accept my sympathies. I know this will be a great loss to you, my prayers are with you.

Dear Lembo Family,
My family and I are sorry to not be there tomorrow. We grieve with y'all and our prayers are with you. He was a great guy to go through vet school with...4 years of grueling studies brings out the deepest parts of one's character and Thom's only negative (rare) comment about anyone or anything was Shively's anatomy test or a parasitology test (and he would have you rolling with laughter by the end of his description of it!). He will be missed.

Thom has been like a big brother to me throughout vet school and the past 10 years. I came to him numerous times for advice and commiseration which he always gave gladly with that big laugh and good humor that he will always be remembered for. It has only been a few weeks since he and I last talked about my life, his life, pig bone marrows, and other miscellaneous things. I simply cannot believe he left us so suddenly. Thom, you will be missed terribly!

Thom, you were a wonderful presence at Vet school and since. I will miss your good cheer. My sympathies to your family on their great loss.
