Jeanne and family,
I just haven´t found the words yet. "I´m so sorry" is an understatement. I feel incredibly blessed to have gotten to know Tom a little bit while working with him as his PT. I will carry my memories of his wit, humor, positivity and kindness forever. You are most definitely in my prayers Jeanne....

On behalf of Catholic Charities, I would like to express my sincere condolences on your loss. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. May you find comfort in knowing that Thomas is now at peace.

Though Tom was a supervisor of my division only briefly, he was a memorable person who remained a good friend and colleague. One of the most thoughtful, moral and humble people I've even known, Tom was such a great person to go to with any kind of quandary or difficult issue: he was compassionate, kind, tough and so smart. He will be deeply missed by many.
