Was a classmate and goo friend of Tom @LeMoyne. My best wishes to his family. May he rest in eternal peace

Please accept the most heartfelt sympathies of Le Moyne College. We hope the love and memories you will forever hold in your heart bring you peace and comfort during this difficult time.

Tom was a fellow Stanner - 1952. He introduced me to my wife to be in 1953 at a St. Stephens dance in Yorkville. We've been married 63 years. Thanks Tom - Rest in Peace.

Tom introduced me to my future wife in 1953 at a St. Stephens dance in Yorkville. He was a fellow Stanner (St. Ann's Academy high school). We've been married for 63 years.

When we became neighbors, we became forever friends. His camera captured special moments in our daughter's life. The one on the boat dock in Oaks Bayside with her guide dog pup, Hilda, is priceless. We send our love and support to Marcia and the entire family. We share your sadness and celebrate his life well lived.
On our shared April 7th birthday, I will have ICE CREAM and celebrate our friend.

Tom had a determined focus on life. And, so it was - his love of the great outdoors that captured us all. His photos are like a masters' canvas - scenes so beautiful and vivid - it feels real to the viewer. We all got to travel with him through his lens of life, his cameras. He will be missed. Our deepest sympathy to Marcia and the entire family.
