Dear Vollmer Family,
Please accept the most heartfelt sympathies of Le Moyne College. We hope the love and memories that you will forever hold in your heart bring you peace and comfort during this difficult time.

Mary Ellen, Kay, Jean and all of Tom's family and friends:
I was not able to attend the services for Tom; but, please accept my sincere condolences as well as hopes and prayers that your memories of him in happier times will help sustain you through this time of mourning. During my own time at MHR (a couple years behind Tom) I did not get to know him personally). However, the good Sisters made it clear Tom was an ideal model as a student (and as a young man) and they strongly suggested that we follow his example. Tom's academic, professional, and personal life after MHR certainly confirm the importance and accuracy of that advice. It's a sad occasion; but, an honor to salute his service and to humbly join his family and friends in the celebration of Tom's good life. And, to his sisters in particular, I hope you and each of your families are all safe and well.

Tom was a dear friend of my late husband, Bob, and myself. Such a kind individual. I´ve been thinking of Tom recently, and was wondering if he moved back to NY.
Rest in peace, Tom. "Go Irish"!

Marv Ellen & family - So sorry to hear of Tom's passing. He was a great guy and will be missed by all those who had the pleasure of meeting him. The last time I had a long conversation with him, he gave me advice on whether or not I should join the Navy. As always, his counsel was wise and he put me on the right path. May he rest in peace.
Sorry we were not able to attend his services. Love to you all.

Tom was a great, if wry, dinner partner at Brookdale. He will be missed.
