I worked with Tom at Chicago State for approximately five years that preceded his retirement. Just find out today or I certainly would have attended the services. What a gentleman! A kind word for all. We had our Irish connection as well as St. Sabina connection. My sympathy and prayers are with the family. May he rest in peace.

Dear Browne Family,
I worked with Tom at Chgo State in the 70's. He was a wonderful boss and great human being. It was a privilege to have known him.

Mary,

My family and I were so saddened to hear of Tom's passing. Our mother, Anne Stark, was a dear friend of his when he worked at Chicago State. I attended CSU in the early eighties and my mom and I rode in with Tom many times. My mother, who passed in 1987, loved Tom. I can still remember them laughing and telling stories all the way to school. Our deepest sympathy for the loss of wonderful man.

Browne Girls, So many memories I have of your dear dad. I am from St Sabina also. As you know my Gram and your Gram were great friends and every Saturday my Gram went to Confession ( don't know what SHE had to confess) and she stopped on the way home for a cup of tea at your Gram's house. This went on EVERY Sat. They came over from Ireland together. Your Uncle Jack was my boss when I was in High School at Shoppers World. Anyway , my experience with you girls, your mom and your wonderful dad is forever in my heart. God bless his Irish soul. We will meet him again. Love all of you. Mary Lu S.
