Thomas William McDermott

I knew Thomas through Blakeslee and Blakeslee. He was such a wonderful person! He was friendly in the most personal way, genuinely interested in people as human beings, not just "clients."

He was patient, kind and communicated very well as to what the task was and how to...

There was no one like him. If ever God said, "I will make the most honorable, faithful and dedicated man...the humblest of a soul I can possibly create", Tom was that man. Whether husband, father or business professional, he always put forth his best - the embodiment of true work ethic. Tom was my colleague, my office partner who taught me the ins & outs of the financial world. Our conversations ran deep in the years we worked together. Always quick with wit, he would crack the best...
