My deepest condolences, Barbra and family. Tom was a great friend and colleague. As you know Tom and I would talk on the phone forever. Tom was a fantastic physician. He was also a fan of Harry Chapin. He had excellent taste in music. He will always be remembered by me. God rest his soul. Will keep him in my prayers.

I delayed signing because I didn’t want this to be real. In such the crazy world with Covid our paths crossed again. It was so much fun hanging out with you every Saturday with the Saturday Night Crew. Joe got to connect with you as did the rest of the crew. Today I got to meet Grace, Barbara, your son, his wife and your grandchildren along with many more of your family. What a beautiful family. Of course I shouldn’t have been surprised. I hope you somehow knew how much you impacted everyone you met. Even if it wasn’t in person. You once said “I have a crew of friends”. That is now the new SNC motto. May you Rest In Peace Tom and to your family May you hold all the wonderful memories close to your heart.

Deepest condolences to Dr. Thomas McLaughlins family. I worked at Pottsville Hospital ICU and as a new ICU nurse, he supervised my first ABG draw and would frequently put EKG´s in front of me and ask me questions. I learned so much from him. May he Rest In Peace.

I met Dr McLaughlin online through the Saturday Night Crew. He loved the music and was so quick with bits of trivia and had a great sense of humor. I'm not a math person but he hooked me on the challenge of nerdle. He touched so many lives, know that he will forever be fondly remembered..especially when we hear one of his favorite songs. My prayers go out to our family.

Dr.McLaughlin will be missed deeply by myself and the SNC. I was able to private message him and we had very nice conversations sharing our lives. Unfortunately, I too had broken my ankle recently and we compared our notes about our mishap. He was such a kind man and told me he knew I was from the “coal” region without me having to tell him. He stated we are very kind people. That touched my heart even more. Soar with the Angels my dear friend!

So sad to hear of Dr. McLaughlin’s passing. I worked with him for so many years in the ICU at the Good Sam. We got along so well and respected each other. He taught me so much. I’ll never forget one evening when we had a really sick patient and I assisted him as he put in a Swan Ganz Catheter in 6 minutes. He was a master. God speed Dr. McLaughlin until we meet again.

Although l never met Dr Mclaughlin in person, l had the pleasure of spending Saturday nights with him for the past two and a half years. His presence and commentary on the Two of Us livestream was always enjoyable and entertaining. I am so happy l we met as members of the Saturday Night Crew. He will be missed!

I am also a member of the SNC that Dr. McLaughlin participated in. Every Saturday he was there to join in the fun, he will remain in our thoughts, especially when his favorite songs are played. He will be missed but always remembered. RIP.

Tom was a gentle man, amazing friend and an excellent physician.
I worked with him as a RN at Good Sam and we co-chaired the first Joint Practice Committee striving to foster collaborative physician/nursing relationships.
Tom cared for my father and mother providing excellence in patient care with a bedside manner that was always above and beyond.
I will miss his presence on earth as I have lost a very special friend and the world has lost a very special man.

Will always remember Tom fondly. I learned a lot from him as a young Physician Assistant at Good Sam Hospital in the 1980s. He was an outstanding physician and a great guy. Sending love and prayers to his family.

We will miss you on Saturday Night your SNC FAMILY thank you for all of the Dr excuses you gave us thoughts and prayers to your family may you RIP

I never personally met Dr. McLaughlin but my sister Dot and her hubby Joe have... but I did get to virtually meet him through the Saturday Night Crew (SNC) and the live streaming of the music of Dot and Joe Sweet (known as the 'Two of Us"). He always participated in the dialogue and if you had to close out early or were late tuning in etc, the SNC would ask him for a Dr's excuse. It became a lot of fun and is just one example of the fun times the crew would have and the patience of Dr. Tom. You will be missed Dr. Tom... Rest in Peace. (from the other Grace)
