Thomas "Tom" Mack

I was just made aware of the passing away of Tom Mack. I worked for Tom along with his brothers Jim, John, and brother in law Gary Butts. This was my first job, and once I graduated from ISU, I decide
d to move down to NAPLES, FLa.

I asked Tom for a job letter of reccomendation and Mr. Mack obliged by giving me my first outstanding letter of reference. He was very kind in his observation of my job performance, leadership abilities, and overall work ethic. Tom was a very astute business owner, and kind man who asked nothing more than he would do himself. Thanks again to Tom and the rest of his brothers(Jim, John, and brother in law Gary Butts for believing in me. You all also gave me my start in management with MCDonald's. I recently retired from working with the Mcdonalds Corporation after 34 years. Take care Tom we will see you again one day in HEAVEN. Your Friend, Douglas Hamrick.

Tom, at times like these I am at a loss for words, so I defer to those who really know how to write.

"To thine own self be true and it must follow as the night the day thou canst not then be false to any man".

Shakespeare -HAMLET

That's you Tom. Never false.

Griffin High class of 1960 loss one of its really good guys. Tom was a main-stay on the football field for Cathedral/Griffin and a true gentleman in life. He was always a pleasure to talk with at our reunions and I am sorry to see him go. RIP, Tom.

The family of Tom Mack is in my thoughts and prayers. Tom was a good man and I enjoyed working for him and his brother Jim and brother-in-law Gary for years. Rest in peace sir.

I worked with Tom and his brothers John and Jim from 1959 through 1962 and also played many a round of golf with his father. They all were very good people and I'm sorry to hear that Tom pasted away.

Condolences to the Family.
We had the opportunity to work with the Mack family for years, they were always very fair and a pleasure to work for.


Sincerely,
Mike Neighbors

I will remember my Uncle Tom with fond memories. He could always make me smile. :)

We are very sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family.

Much like his Lithuanian immigrant father John Mack, Tom was a great man and a great leader who answered the call of his fellow man and the times in which he lived. I was privileged to tell the heroic story of the Mack family on my blog and in my book about Lithuanians in Springfield.

Uncle Tom will be greatly missed. Lots of wonderful memories to celebrate his life with. Praying for peace and comfort for his loved ones. Love, Barbs (aka B.J.) Murphy McCaw

so sorry to hear of Tom's passing.
Eleanor, you are so extraordinary to all you know. May your memories of Tom come to be only the good times.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

The Lord bless you and keep you in this time of earthly loss.

My sincere condolences for your loss, in this difficult time of sorrow. I am sorry we did not honor Tom earlier, in the Lithuanian Club.
All your family is in our thoughts and prayers. Sincerely,Rick(Banzin)Dunham, (current President of the Lithuanian Club).
