Dr Fallon, you delivered me from my mother on February 20th, 1981. I see you´ve gone with the angels to another realm. May you live well and prosperous.

Dea Falloon Family, My name is Carol Bachmann (Michaelsen. I used to live at 9404 South Homan in Evergreen Park. We moved from there in 1952. I don't think any of you children remember me or my family, but I used to baby sit for Eddie, Marilyn, Jean Marie and Bobby. I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your Dad. I spent many hours at your home on Homan Ave playing with you. I also remember your Grandmother living upstairs from you. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this sad time. Sincerely, Carol Bachmann

Dear Falloon Family,

My deepest sympathy on the passing of your Dad.

I am one of 10,000 babies your Dad delivered, born 2/14/1966. My Mom has told me many times how wonderful of man he was.

I thank God for you Dad and that he helped bring me safely into this world. God Bless and may you find some comfort in how many positive ways your Dad touched so many people.

Dear Falloon Family:

I'm so sorry for your loss but very glad to have known your dad. During a very emotionally troubling time several years ago, his faith and his reassurance helped to clarify my misgivings about myself and my life. I remain grateful to him and to all of you in his name.

My sincere condolences to you. Dr. Falloon delivered our 4 children. When we moved from Beverly to Palos Park, we were attending St. Aleanders for the first time and when it came time for the handshake of peace, I turned around and was overjoyed to see Dr. Falloon standing behind me. He was such a wonderful Christian man.

Dear Falloon Family,



What an experience to read through the guestbook and hear how Dr. Falloon impacted the lives of so many in such a positive way.



And to read the beautiful notice in the Trib, that detailed the life of a respected, principled leader of high integrity who held strong convictions on key issues.



Although I only knew Dr. Falloon through the eyes of his son, Tom, I sense that he left an incredible legacy!



I pray that wonderful memories will ease the pain of your loss.

Dear Falloon Family,



As I mentioned at the wake, I remember like it was yesterday, when Dr. Falloon went out of his way to drive to where I was due to depart for a baseball game when I was 15. He took it upon himself to be the one to tell me that my dad died. I still remember, almost 38 years later, how perfectly he delivered such terrible news. Like me, I am sure there have been hundreds, maybe thousands, of others who have experienced firsthand his sympathetic courage. I remain eternally grateful to have been raised in such a wonderful neighborhood.

It was with sadness that I learned of the death of Dr. Falloon. Dr. Falloon was a man of strong moral character and professional excellence. I will remember him as a man of great faith, a distinguished physician and a proud father.

My deepest condolences to the family of Dr. Falloon. He was a wonderful doctor and a true gentleman. He delivered all six of my daughters. I have thought of him often over the years. He will truly be missed.

I still remember the great difficulty getting you up on skis. Perhaps now you will have a more powerful towboat to get you going. Rest easy........

We were next door neighbors (George and Marge Beukema, Sherry and George) of the Falloon family in Evergreen Park in the 1960's. Dr. Falloon was the first man to our house when my father passed away in 1963. He was very kind to my mother and family and we thought very highly of all of the Falloon Family. My sympathies to you on your loss.

Our Sympathy to the family. God bless you all and keep you in His warm embrace to enable yoour grief to turn to fond memories Dr. Falloon was a wonderful physician. He delivered our youngest child. Our prayers are with you.

My deepest sympathies to the family of the most wonderful doctor I have ever known. He delivered three of my five children and I have missed him ever since he retired. Once when talking to him I called him Father instead of Doctor and he said, "That is my first profession, a doctor is my second." He certainly meant it. On my first visit after he had lost Edwin in Vietnam all I could do was take his hands and cry as he entered the room. He said, "Only a mother could truly know our grief." He was such a perfect role model for doctors in our world today. He must be in Heaven already.

Dear Marilyn, I am so sorry about your dad. I remember many things about your family. I remember hearing about your brother when we were at McAuley. It really hit me hard because the war was now in our "backyard." I went to Washington a few years ago and I found his name on the Vietnam memorial. I said a prayer. I also remember your dad's name at LCM when I had 4 out of my 8 children. I think he might have contributed to the senior year marriage/birth information we received. I just wanted you to know that I was thinking of your family at this time. Sincerely, Charlene

Dear Marguerite:

I just read your father's obituary this morning. Please accept my condolences to your family and you. It's been years since we've seen each other, but I think of you often and our time together at NIU. I remember meeting your parents then and what loving, caring individuals they were. You are in my thoughts today.

Dear Marilyn,

In today's TRIBUNE, I noticed your father's obituary. I would like to wish you and your family my deepest condolences. Losing a parent is difficult at any age, and I wish you much strength during this time of loss.



Even though we have had no contact for years, I often think of you and Scott. You two are responsible for making my life in the military an enjoyable experience. I will never forget our wonderful day trips to great German cities and castles. Our visits to Wolfsbach in the Black Forest are forever etched on my mind; in fact, I have a picture of the inn on one of my walls.



I know that you and Scott have gone your separate ways, and I hope you two are happy with your new lives right now. How are Chandra and Colin doing? I hope they are doing fine. It is difficult to believe that they must be around thirty years of age!



Well, Marilyn, I didn't plan on writing a "letter," but I do want to wish you the very best in this very sad time. Albert (Burt) Teunissen.
