I met Tom and Sue when they joined Medtronic. Great people! Tom and I had some great discussions about the Cardiac device market in Arkansas and Missouri. I remember thinking how fortunate we were to have these fine people join our company! Rest easy Tom. So very sorry for your loss Sue, and family.

To Tom's family & friends - F Y I

As mentioned in my original message {copied below} I just want to assure you that although it's been a couple of years and there's even been a name change at the school, now known as "St. Mary´s Southside Catholic High School," Tom´s spirit continues to be felt on its campus, daily prayers and masses have continued to be said and offered for him by the Brothers of Mary. And lastly, Tom´s classmates "The Dragons from `67" have gathered many times since his passing and every time, Tom has been remembered with a prayer and a "toast".

St. Mary's High School

December 17, 2021

Tom is a St. Mary´s High School Alumnus, Class of 1967. On behalf of the faculty, the staff, and the students at St. Mary´s High School, both past and present, we extend our most heartfelt sympathy to Tom´s family and friends.

Also know that we share in your sorrow and grieve for your loss. Special mention of condolences to those students, who at one time or another, walked the same hallways, sat in the same classrooms, or participated in the same extra-curricular activities as Tom once did, beginning from the time he enrolled as a Freshman in September of 1963 until the time he graduated as a Senior in June of 1967.

Although Tom is gone from this life, his spirit will forever remain here on the Campus of St. Mary´s High School; and just as it was in life since the day he enrolled at St. Mary´s, daily prayers will continue to be said and daily masses will continue to be offered for him by the Brothers of Mary.

Lastly, never forget that whenever the Dragons from ´67 gather and talk turns to the days of auld lang syne, as it always does, Tom Flanagan will forever be remembered. .

For several years we were on an Oasis Current Events study group. I enjoyed his lefty positions and agreed with most but would attempt to steer him to reality. I was successful a few times but he was firm in his belief that what was truly Right would prevail. I will miss that optimism
