Dr Tom Pinder was one of my role models although he never realized it. He was kind and caring, took time to listen. He took great care of his patients and they appreciated the wonderful care he gave

Dear Pinder family,

I just heard the news of Dr. Pinder passing. My heart aches to hear this news. Dr. Pinder was my cardiologist for over 15 years. He was so kind, caring, and skilled with lots of knowledge. I am so honored to have known just an amazing doctor. He was the "BEST" cardiologist. He will be truly missed by all who had him as their cardiologist. I am still lost for words of his passing. May God grant you the strength and comfort in this difficult time.

An excellent doctor I was a patient of his for 36 years. I met Dr Pinder when I was 16 years old and now I am 47 years old. I just heard the news today from my doctor and I was in shock. I wish his office would have said something about his passing. I would have attended the funeral. Dr Pinder was a great doctor. Kind, friendly and always asked about what was going on in my life. The best thing about him was he knew his stuff when it came to cardiology. That is why I stuck with him for so many years. He was a true blessing. I will miss him dearly. May he rest with God and may his family be blessed. That you Dr Pinder for everything you did for me. Thank you so much.

I am heart broken to learn of Dr. Thomas Pinder's passing. He was and always will be the most caring and thoughtful physician I know. A man with a passion for taking care of people. He definitely will be missed by all who have been honored to be in his presence. I worked for him over 20yrs ago. Capital Cardiology Consultants. May God keep his arm around his wife, Dr Esther Pinder, children and family. May He grant you peace on days when your faith is doubted. Dr. Pinder made a life of caring for the heart. It was never a job for him but rather an enjoyment. So wise. So much compassion for all of his patients. May He rest in peace. Gone but will never be forgotten.
Thoughts and prayers for the Pinder Family.

It's with much sympathy to you and family. I was just made aware February 21, 2025, of Dr. Pinder's death. In discussion which a family member I mention the need to verify my next annual apointment with Dr. Pinder, as he was my cardiologist. Family, said you don't know do you? Dr. Pinder died back in January. No, I didn't know.

I'm lost for words at finding out about this just now. My heart goes out to you and the family. May God continue to bless this family.

My condolences to the Family of Dr Thomas Pinder. Dr Pinder was my Cardiologist for over15 yrs. I liked him from the very first day we met. He had an ear for listening and a heart that cared and those two things are hard to find in the medical field sometimes. My husband had a major stroke 2 yrs ago and Dr Pinder help me through some rough times trying to understand what was best for my husband. We will miss Dr Pinder thank you Mrs Pinder for sharing such a wonderful man with us.

To Mrs. Pinder and the entire Pinder family. I became a patient of Dr. Finder's when Dr. Flood relocated to St. Thomas. I had seen him before, and was pleased to become his "new" patient. Dr. Pinder was a caring and skilled cardiologist and the medical community, as well as the patients here in Washington, DC and Maryland, have truly lost one of the good ones. Rest in peace - Dr. P. You will surely be missed. Pat Lowe.

Dr. Pinder ministered to my husband, Joseph Ervin, one of his patients. Dr. Pinder´s service to our shared church, People´s Congregational United Church of Christ, and his generous support with endowments to our shared alma mater, Morgan State University, are a few of the many reminders of why his legacy reaches far beyond his earthly journey. Indeed, his living will not be in vain.

Our collaboration was all too brief as we just started working on the Pastoral Search Committee (with Peoples UCC). His input was invaluable and will be truly missed, but what a phenomenal gift to have known him. Sincere condolences to the family.

He was always a great role model and fine human being. I could see that even in high school at Mace' Lane in Cambridge, Md. He was one of my personal heroes from then on.
