When Dr Max Steuer no longer took medicar patients he handed to over to Dr Morrison. He did my second back surgery/ And then suggested I needed neck surgery. I did not do it. Should have. today I requested him for a referral. needless to say, I was shocked.
So sorry a great loss and left us way too soo,

I met Tom on the first floor of Clark Dorm in our freshman year at Holy Cross. Super bright, very athletic, kind, and a real gentleman, it was great to have Tom in my life. Our families got to know each other further over his time in Chicago and stayed in touch when they moved to Atlanta, always eagerly awaitng thier Christmas card. He will be sorely missed, and echoing the sentiments of my wife in an earlier post, our thoughts and prayers are with Mara and the family everyday.

I echo my wife's sentiments from an ealrier post. My family and I are better for having had Tom in our lives. I first met Tom at Holy Cross just down the hall of the first floor of Clark dorm. Super bright, very athletic, kind, and a true gentleman; it was great to have had him in our lives through Holy Cross, Chicago, and over his years in atlanta. Tom will be sorely missed and Mara and the family are in our thoughts and prayers daily.

My heart breaks for Tom's family. What loving grace he shared with the world! Tom's friendship with my husband at Holy Cross carried over to our lives as young couples in Chicago. Tom's brilliance, wit, and easy grace charmed us all. Tom and Mara inspired us to get married and we took our first guidance in parenting from them. When our son was rushed to the ICU only a few days after birth, Tom had already put in a 20 hour shift, but he and Mara rushed to meet us there to shepherd us. We retell the story all the time of their teamwork, love and commitment to one another and shared mission to help and give to others at all times. Our world is a better place, and many lives were saved and much improved because of Tom's selfless dedication to service and to excellence. We will always remember him as a paragon among men. God bless his family. May they find consolation in knowing his generous spirit, love and sheer stamina run fiercely in them. Our thoughts and prayers are streaming to him in heaven and to his family.

He was one of the kindest physicians I have ever worked with. He had a sharp mind, and a caring heart. He was beloved by his patients everyone who worked with him. He is gone far too soon.

I,too, was in school at SCDS with Tommy. I remember very well our biology class and can picture him sitting to the right of me towards the front, can see him as clearly as though he were there beside me now. From reading about his life after high school, I feel what a great loss his death is to his family and community. May you find peace in your memories and be comforted by knowing he was loved and special to so many.

Tommy and I went to Savannah Country Day School together and I remember him being very funny, a great athlete, wicked smart and kindhearted. The total package. In reading the notice above it is clear that he just to improve in all areas of his life. There aren't too many professions more impressive than neurosurgery. What touched and amused me even more was reading about his enjoying watching soccer in his club chair surrounded by his 5 rescued dogs. That's so him. I loved reading about him taking his wife and kids on frequent Disney trips and I can see him laying down the law about the sit down meal. I am so sorry that his family has lost him. I am also sorry for his patients, colleagues, many friends, and his beloved dogs. He was really, really special and the world changed forever the day he died. I will pray for comfort for you, his beloved family.Love, Cam Miller
