Not sure what to say?

Sorry to hear about the lose of your husband Tom , way to young.

Mary Ann, Tom, Michael & Liz- I am so sorry for your loss of such a great man, father and uncle. I remember getting together with your family when we were all young and how much fun Uncle Tom was. He is at peace now but he will be greatly missed.

A good former neighbor and colleague
He will be missed

Mary and I send our thoughts and prayers to Mary Ann and the family. Tom was a fine physician and Family man, who has left an exceptional legacy.

You are in my thoughts and prayers. I was one of Dr. Zimmerman's nurses at HeartCare Midwest. I enjoyed working with him. He was a very kind man with a great sense of humor. God Be With all of you.

Dear Mary Ann and Family: My late fathers highest compliment to another man was "he is both a gentleman and a scholar." and when I think of Tom I remember that accolade and it surely applies to Tom. I wish I could be in Peoria for the funeral but I can't. I will have Masses offered for him in the Holy Land. Tom McKiernan

Mrs. Zimmerman and family
I worked at Pekin Hospital over ten years as a Nuclear Medicine Technologist. In this capacity, I worked doing Cardiology exams with Dr. Z. I spoke today with Bob, my former colleague and we reminisced about Dr. Z. We both commented on how he valued our opinion in our field. We talked about how he always joked around with us.

Although I only knew Tom for a short period of time while at St. Edwards High School, he left a lasting impression. He was clearly a bright, friendly, and kind individual. He was a leader and role model. Reading his obituary brought sadness and amazement at his many accomplishments and dedication to others. A wonderful Christian man... Thoughts and prayers to his wonderful wife, Mary Ann, and to their children and extended family. Requiescit in pace. larry

Mr. Zimmerman was a resident at our health care center at Lutheran Hillside Village. Heartfelt condolences go out to his immediate family at this time.
