Mary and Timothy,
I am truly sorry for your loss. I just found out about his death yesterday (3/3/08). Perhaps he and Bryan are now God's angel's teaching our future oral surgeons how to be great surgeons. God bless you both.

Dear Mary, my entire family is very sad to hear of Dr. Toomey's passing. We all went to him for removal of our wisdom teeth. I will always remember him for his graciousness. In 1991 I was a Sophmore at Boston College and needed all 4 wisdom teeth taken out. He allowed me to pay in installments with a discount I might add because he knew I was paying for tuition and couln't afford the full amount. He appreciated that I went to B.C and that I was going to get a good education. I will miss him.

MaryLou
I am SO sorry to hear about Dr. Toomey, oh my God. A world reknown Oral Surgeon with many many happy tales of East Cambridge life & times. The tales were better than the discounts!
It was mentioned @ 7:30 am Mass today. I'm still in shock here!
I think about Mrs Kennedy often, than Sheila and now Tim - Stay strong and just remember all the fabulous years you had with him. Those are now your treasures. Say hello to Timothy 111 for me. My heartfelt sympathies to you both.
With much love.

Mary and Tim,
Dr. Toomey will be missed.
He was a true gentleman and a fabulous story teller and a wonderful doctor. I've always looked forward to his stories that he shared about his family and his life experiences. I will miss him.
There's now a big void that can't be filled in this world.
