I was just reminded of your dad. I looked him up to find that he passed after a long beautiful life. Both he and Tom Jr were so kind to me when I got to work for them both on State Street in Media. I learned about structural engineering from Tom Sr and had the extraordinary opportunity to be a part of the Stotesbury Regatta. Tom Jr allowed me to paint his swimwear store purple!
I learned so much from you both and was treated with such respect. I wanted to just acknowledge this loving connection and let your family know Tom Dowd made a positive impact on my life.

Condolences on the loss of Tommy Dowd, first cousin of my paternal grandmother, Marie Muldowney Coyle. He was always a joy with his quips and reminiscing. We will miss seeing him at the Regatta and family affairs! Until we meet again ... Rest in peace, Tommy.
