The first person I met at St. Ambrose College was Tom Drew. He was a year ahead of me. I haven't seen him since the late 60s, but I will always remember him as a really good guy. I'm sure he was a loving husband and a terrific father. I offer my heartfelt condolences to his family.

We have known Tom since 1983. Tom and I worked together for many years. He was the Godfather for our daughter. We feel blessed to have known him and admire his courage. Our prayers are with Maureen, Tricia & Kevin.

To Maureen and the entire Drew family, may God sustain you in your loss.



Over the last couple of days I have received a number of notes from members of the MC class of 1964, and they all attest to the respect and affection we had for Tom as a classmate and as a man.



We join you in your sadness.



Our Lady of Mt. Carmel, Pray For Us.
