Thomas J. Phillips

My heart is sad today because I just heard of Tom's passing. Tom was such a genuine man with a heart of gold, he was always willing to help others.
He had a special place in my heart because when my colleague Barb and I were entering the Low Vision field, he was so encouraging and supportive. He was a person that we knew we could count on; he believed in us and we thought the world of him.

Met Tom at Newman Center on NIU campus. What a thoughtful, compassionate man-he will be sorely missed. I was a better person for having known him.

Charlotte, sorry for your loss. Dennis Freitag

U r in my prayers!

RIP Tom, we will miss your smiling face and big heart. Heaven surely is a better place with you in attendance.

Tom came and spoke with our group, Sights Unlimited of Chicago Heights and was well received by the Low Vision community.

I, Mick Rybolt, want to send my sincere condolences to his wife and extended family. God Bless you all in your time of rememberence of a great loving individual. You have much to be proud of.

Tom will be missed in the low vision community. He went that extra mile to help a visually impaired person in need.

Tom was a kind and compassionate man who genuinely cared about his low vision clients. Tom will be greatly missed. Kim &Joe Kuster, OASIS for the Visually Impaired.
