I think of Dr. McPartlin often. He was my Dr. I loved his sense of humor, and his easy ways. I am still on the medication he prescribed, and thus haven't had a migraine headache in many, many years. What a wonderful Dr! Along with you, I miss him.

I worked with Dr. McPartlin at Midway and Samaritan Hospital when I was the Head Nurse in Intensive Care. I can honestly say that he was the best teacher and diagnostician of neurology that I ever worked with. He always listened to the nurses and took the time to educate. And he was a lot of fun to work with. I am so sorry for your loss.

To the McPartlin family, I was a patient of Dr.McPartlin from 1988 to his retirement. He had a gift for diagnosing and treating his patients and made us feel that his patients came first. I always got some positive feedback and it made all the difference. We won't forget him.
Sincerely, Chris Kunert

We grew up together....same block, same elementary school, same jr. high, same high school. Though the years have intervened with many miles, the warm memories are clear. He will be missed by many, I'm sure. Count me as one.
My condolences to his loving family. May they find strength in caring friends. Kathy Frontz Hinshaw

He was so wonderful to work for and he treated his employees very well. I am glad we were able to get together with him when we did and hope he enjoyed the photo album. Good Memories.

I truly regret Tom's passing and all he went through. I remember working with him many years ago at St. Paul Ramsey Hospital - a fine neurologist and gentleman.

To Dr. McPartlin's family.
My sister worked as a nurse for Dr McPartlin many years ago. He graciously donated his time to give us guidance and encouragement about our ten year old son who sustained a traumatic brain injury. I have never forgotten his kindness to me or my family.
