JOHN E. TOMAS
Died at INOVA Fairfax Hospital on October 25, 2006 as a result of complications of a stroke. He was born February 21, 1932 in Minneapolis, MN.

He is survived by three sisters, Anne Nordvik of Foley, MN, Juell Heggem of Maple Plain, MN, and Helen Bennett of Prescott, AZ; in addition to many nieces and nephews. He graduated from Georgetown Law School and served in the US Government for 40 years. He retired in September 2005 from the EEOC. John requested his body be donated to Georgetown Medical School.
