Not sure what to say?

Ellen so sorry for your loss. He was one of a kind. I worked with Dr Race for 13 years. I always enjoyed speaking with him. I loved his humor.

Condolences. Tom was always a pleasure and a treasure to know .

Patriotic Eternal Affection Arrangement

We were so lucky to have Tom, Ellen and Brian in our life! He always had a smile on his face, that I will never forget, and was there for support during difficult family times. We had many memorable camping and chalet get togethers, and he often included my son and I in so many family gatherings! You will truly be missed Tom. Love, Dottie & Andy

We extend our profound sympathy to Ellen and to Tom's Family. Tom was a man of extraordinary character. We will always remember our friendship while living as neighbors in Wilbraham. May his memory be eternal.

Oh Ellen I´m sorry to hear about Tom, no matter what we know ahead of time we´re never prepared for any of this. I know your sisters will take good care of you and you´ll find your way.. Godspeed to him, and I wish you strength during this hard time. my best to you and your son and his whole family.

Ellen My sympathy to you and the entire family on the loss of a wonderful person. I so enjoyed working with him speaking with him and learning a special way to look at the world and people. I recognize that all life has a beginning and an end-may your family know no more sorrow. Sending you hugs

Fifty-three years ago, Dr. Race treated me for hepatitis at Springfield Hospital. The world is poorer for the loss of a compassionate and dedicated professional.

Tom was literally the nicest person we know - always making sure everyone was happy and having a great time whether it was snowshoeing in VT or running a fundraising event at WMA or just relaxing with friends - we will miss you Doc! Rest easy knowing your kindness lives on in your kids, grandkids, all of your family and friends.
