Thomas J. Perlite M.D.

I liked and trusted Dr.Perlite so much! He delivered my two children at St. Mary's Medical Center in 1981 and 84. In July of 1981, Dr. Perlite had plans to go with his wife on an Alaska Cruise. I had a very long and hard labor, and he waited until the day of his trip to finally deliver my son. He could have easily left me in the hands of another doctor, however, he stuck it out with me until the end! I have never forgotten his kindness and perseverance.

You´re the BEST Doctor I´ve worked with. A Devoted Catholic - SHARED your TIME helping others . So many wonderful memories and even when you RETIRED you came back to SERVE our UNDERSERVED CLINIC Patients . Even where you´re at home you will call me if your patients Tests Results came back and if they are always taken cared of. Your KINDNESS, COMPASSION & DEDICATION was REMARKABLE!!! Especially your GENEROSITY -I´m SO BLESSED & GRATEFUL TO HAVE YOU - THANK YOU SO MUCH DR. PERLITE !!! Maria...

On behalf of the Harvey family, our sincere condolences and fond memories of "Doc" Perlite. Warm Regards, Mark

Dear Helen, Tom, Mark, Paul and Family, I just learned the news of Tom´s passing last night. Regrettably, I am unable to attend the funeral service. So many wonderful memories with your family. I miss you all and I will keep you in my prayers. Sending prayers of love and healing. XO, Cindy

Dr. Perlite was my grandmother's doctor decades ago. She spoke very highly of him. May he rest in peace.

Tom was, simply put, a true Christian in every way. He will be missed but never forgotten.

I was a parishioner in St. Stephen Parish for over 20 years. Tom and Helen were pillars of that community. Tom recruited me to be a lector at church. We saw each other often in those years -- at mass, at USF basketball games, and at St. Mary's Medical Center. He delivered 6 of my nephews and 2 of my nieces. A great man with a great family that had such a positive impact on so many. RIP Tom.
