Tom was one of my best friends and a very fine and honorable man. We met at Loyola pre-med in February of 1945 and shared many experiences together throughout our training.
His career was a tribute to the profession of medicine. He was loved by so many of his friends and patients.
We are saddened by his death and send our sincere condolences to his family.
