Tom McGlauchlin

Pat, sorry for your loss. We only met once, but it was a fun weekend with the two of you and the Hoovers when you came to Kalamazoo to see the Chihuly exhibit. We remember Tom as a wonderfully warm, personable and delightful person. Jane had told us of his diagnosis, so knew the prognosis was not good and am sure these past few months have been difficult for you. Wishing you light in the days ahead. Dave and Lyn Hargreave

Pat and Chris
I wish I was there with you in person and not just in spirit.

Dear Pat,
Fondest memories of you and Tom are dancing under the stars, the many visits and the game of Hearts. We will miss Tom. Sorry for your loss. Love, Sammy

Aunt Pat and Chris - I'm thinking of you both and of Uncle Tom too, and how much fun he was to be around. I can hear him and Uncle Frank vehemently arguing politics. I will miss him at family renunions. My thoughts are with you and Chris - Love, Lizzy

While an art student at U of M, I took my first "official" glassblowing class in 1971 with Tom at the Toledo Museum. He was a very laid back teacher. He knew my father, Karnig who started Michigan's first private glass studio in the late 1960's (since passed away 2/1/2007-visited Tom in his Toledo studio during that time with fellow student, Bevery Wolcott). Tom was an amazingly talented artist who worked in glass and many other media. He really loved students and teaching. He will be missed...

Aunt Pat, Chris, Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Uncle Tom (and your whole family of course) was always warm and welcoming and a complete joy to be around. We are ready to support in in any way.

Tom was my teacher at the TMA and became a friend over the years. I will miss him.

Dear Mrs. McGlauchlin - Back in the early 80s I was the University Secretary at TMA and got to know Tom there. He was always such a gentleman and so easy to work with. I am so honored to have known him. You and the family have my deepest sympathy.

Pat and family I am so sorry for your loss. Tom was a great man and will be missed by all. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. You were both the best neighbors ever!
