To the McGinley Family:

It is with great sorrow that I write this. Tom was one of the warmest, friendliest people I have ever known. We would often have a Harry Carey impersonation contest, and I could never top Tom's effort! The never-ending travel our jobs require prohibited me from attending Tom's service, but I hope you know I was there in spirit and your family was in my prayers. Jon Lilly.

Dear Mrs. McGinley,

I did not know Tom all that well but our paths crossed many times over the years, both as a customer and a business associate.

May God comfort and strengthen you.

Mrs McGinley,

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I have known Tom since he was Laser Specialist for Michigan. Over the years I was able to form a friendship I will never forget. I will always feel fortunate I was able to spend time with him last week while I was in Stamford. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I'll miss him.



God Bless,

Dan

Dear Barbara,

I would like to express my shock and sadness at Tom's sudden passing last Thursday. I was involved in the interview process and hiring of Tom to Fuji Medical Systems and have worked very closely with him since he joined us, first as a Laser Specialist and more recently as OEM and Distributor Sales Manager. I always enjoyed Tom's enthusiastic and kind nature and he will be sorely missed as both a colleague and a friend.

My thoughts and prayers and those of my family are with you and your daughters at this very sad time.



Dear Christine,

although I never got to meet you, I wanted you to know that whenever we discussed our families, Tom always spoke of you with great pride and affection. Please accept my sincere condolences and those of my family for the loss of your father.



Sincerely,



Robert Neary

Mrs. McGinley-

Tom was a Fuji business associate and a friend. I always appreciated his (albeit last-minute) calls to suggest we have lunch or dinner when he came to Cleveland on business. He'll be sorely missed by all of us. May God bless you and yours.

Dear Mrs. McGinley,



There are no words strong enough to express my sincere sorry at Tom's passing. I have known Tom since 1995 and have always been delighted when he was involved in my projects. His business knowledge was exceptional, however, it is his warmth and sense of humour that will be sorely missed in our business community.



My prayers go out to you and your family. May you all be buoyed up by Tom's spirit during this very sad time.

Dear Mrs. McGinley:

My prayers are with you and your family. I worked with Tom occasionally as an account manager always seeking Tom's help and expertise. It was a pleasure working with Tom. He always had a solution for all our issues and worked together as a teamplayer. |

Tom will be sorely missed. I remember his fondness of "white table cloth" restaurants and good food he remarked when we all visited New Orleans one year for the annual PACS Symposium. He was a classy guy.

We will all miss him.

Many thoughts and prayers coming your way....

Mrs. McGinley: I was very sorry to hear of Tom's passing. I worked with him for 5 years here at Fuji Medical. Tom and I had dinner together in October at a meeting and he sure teased me about the poor football season Nebraska was having and was so very proud of the great season Notre Dame was having! I will really miss that great sense of humor Tom exhibited and all he did for me. Words cannot express my sorrow. May God bless you and all the children and other loved ones of Tom's. I know in my heart that God will not abandon Tom.



With deepest sympathy, Brent, Jan, and Robbie Gordy
