Semper Fi Corpsman Fell (Dr Fell). It was an honor and privilege to service on the EMS/Medic One Board. You raised the service above self bar so high it will likely never be duplicated. Fair winds & following seas brother! -Lacey City Councilmember Michael Steadman, aka - Sgt of Marines

In 1976, I moved from Maine to Washington and got a job working nights on the ICU-CCU Step Down Unit on 4th floor at St Peter. My 1st encounter with Dr. Fell was there, he was always a reassuring presence, willing to guide, answer questions, and supportive of our efforts. Two years later, I transferred to the OR and spent the next 15 years working with him thru scheduled cases , on call and urgent arrivals. There were many long hours, he was always professional, calm, helpful and caring. I...

Dear Sue and Family,
Knowing and working along side Tom on water company business was a true partnership. Now reading through his life’s work I see I only knew a glimpse into the man. In the book of Ecclesiastes 7:1 it makes clear a good name is better than good oil....
Clearly this was true for Tom. I am very sorry for your loss.
He is truly missed.
I look out at the water and feel sadness that I will no longer see him rowing out.

I had the privilege of Tom taking 3 classes from me when I taught history at SPSCC. He was naturally an outstanding student and was always very pleasant. Sorry to hear of his passing.

We didn't know Tom well, but we knew Suzanne when she was the school nurse at St. Mikes. Our love to the family.

It was truly an honor to work with Dr. Fell over the years. Always a pleasure. He will be missed by everyone that knew him.

My thoughts and prayers are with your family Tom.❤
You will be missed by many many people that worked with you over the years. You and Dr Brown established, in my opinion, the best Medic One system in Washington. Thank you for your dedication and caring to the medical field.
When I first started working with Thurston County Medic One in 1978 I was a little scared of you at first. As I came to know you and work with you I realized what an awesome guy you were. Thank you and say hi to...

Dr. Fell was a remarkable human being. I count myself very lucky to have worked with him and known him. He enriched every life he touched.

Dr.Tom so many kind words.... he would always give me a big hug and say nice to see you again. His passing is so sad. My deepest condolences
