Thomas Lappin Obituary

Dear Bob, Joy and family:



Deeply sorry to hear of the loss of your dear brother and his wife. Remember playing football in the vacant lot across the street from our home at 9201 Claremont with Bob and Tim. This goes back to the early 50's if I'm not mistaken. These were fun times and will always be remembered. Many years have passed since those innocent times. Don't recall who won those football games but we do remember that we all had a great time together. We broke a window in the Meghagan house to the south one day and we caught all H because our dads had to fix the window that day. Great times despite the mistakes we made. Jim was in the neighborhood recently (50th from Christ the King) and pointed out to his wife where the Lappins lived, among others. We remember the Lappins with fond memories and grieve with you at the loss of your loved ones. Bob, if you have a chance, please communicate with Jim @ [email protected] Would like to talk with you and exchange information re all of the Sullivans and to get up to date on the Lappins.



We grieve your loss with you. Tim was a great guy! and we only knew him as a kid neighbor!



Jim and Bob Sullivan

OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS GO OUT TO THE ENTIRE LAPPIN FAMILY. DOCTOR LAPPIN WAS OUR DOC FOR 30 SOME YEARS! HE WAS ONE OF THE FAMILY, WE WILL MISS HIM DEARLY



THE VERVYNCK'S

To the entire Lappin family



I was extremely shocked and saddened to hear of the tragic loss of your parents. Although I never met Anne, I feel that I know her and the rest of your family. Dr. Lappin was my doctor for nearly 30 years and in that time, he was always ready to share stories of his wonderful children and loving wife. Whenever I saw "Doc", he always had a smile for me and assured me that he would fix anything that ailed me. His friendly manner made him an exceptional doctor and a friend. His presence will be truly missed. Please know that your family and his dedicated staff are in my thoughts and prayers now.

Liz and the Lappin family...



My thoughts are with you and your family during this incredibly tough time...I know your parents were special...



I also know how close of a family you have and that will help you get through all of this...



My best and take care...

I was extremely shocked to hear this terrible news. I have been away from St. Charles for many years now. Even though I haven't seen Dr. Lappin in many years, after hearing of this, the memories just started rolling into my head. He was a wonderful Doctor, man, and Father. God Bless the entire Lappin family -Sarah (Wendel) Springer

I was shocked to hear about the very sad and tragic news of your parents death. I can only imagine how stressful these days have been for all of you.



Dr. Lappin was my doctor for some 30 years. He was one-of-a-kind… a good doctor and a great friend with a fun personality that made him a delight to be around. Everyone who knew him at all will have lost a great friend and for all his family he has left a place that can never be filled.



He was so proud of all of you. It’s difficult to convey my deep sadness but I feel like I should know all of you personally. He loved to share family stories with all of us.



Your parents will be very close to all of you in spirit, having only gone beyond the sound of your voices and the touch of your hands. While death brings sadness, it’s comforting to know that they are still together.



Because of my health issues I couldn't be with you during this time but I hope you find it comforting at least in some small way, to know that I with you in spirit.



My deepest sympathy in your great loss.

Our thoughts and prayers to each of you in the loss of your parents. When my friend sent me an e-mail informing me of the tragedy. I immediately thought of this incident relating to your father. I was a nurse at the old Delnor Hospital(early 70's) working the night shift. Your father was a dedicated physician. He expected perfection in all of us working at the hospital. He was admitted to the hospital and needed IV fluids.(Many nurses felt intimediated by him)I was told by my supervisor,

"I was the best at finding the veins and no one could intimediate me, I would not have a problem" I walked into the room scared to death that I would not be able to do this. Your father was a dear man, I felt at ease. After the procedure was completed he complimented me on my professionalism and ability to perform this procedure. I am sure your loss will be felt by many others.

We are deeply saddened with the loss of Dr. Lappin and his wife.They will be deeply missed. He was our family doctor for over 30 years. Not only was he our doctor he was a friend we could talk to about anything.Our condolences go out to the Lappin family.

To the entire Lapppin family, my deepest sympathy! Dr. Lappin has been my doctor for as long as I can remember and was my daughters Dr. when she came into this world!! He was a wonderful man! Dr. Lappin was always there when you needed someone to talk to. He will be greatly missed.

We share in your loss & remember the hours spent with both your parents in ice arenas. Hockey was only a small area of their full lives that demonstrated their devotion to their children.

Mary and Matt Metz and the Lappin Family,

Our prayers and thoughts are with you. Your parents were wonderful

people.

Deepest sympathy from Don and Chuck Linder

Russ & I can't begin to express our deep sympathy to Doc Lappin's family. He was our doctor for over 30 years. We especially remember 2 years ago when he took care of Russ with Bells Palsy when we were in St. Charles visiting.

To the Lappin family, i am deeply saddened to hear of the loss of your mother and father. i used to work with your father at the old delnor and wanted to share some memories of him. Like the time he sent a bunch of us nurses that had been dieting to the Como Inn for dinner, and then drove us down Michigan ave to see the christmas lights. That was a great night. and when he first bought his porsche he took me for a ride while i was working on a sunday afternoon,, we carreened down rt 25 at a very high speed but what fun, he did enjoy scaring me to death. your dad was a great guy and will be missed by many. He did alot of things for alot of people besides just being their doctor.

To The Lappin Family

My deepest condolences on your loss.

Your father often spoke about his family during my 30 plus years as his patient.A truly dedicated family physician.

I was deeply saddened to hear of the sudden passing of Annie and Tim. I grew up living next door to the Rosenstiels. I counted them amongst good friends and neighbors. My prayers are with those mourning the loss of such extraordinary people.

I'm am very sorry for the sudden loss of your parents and brother. I remember visits to Tim & Anne's home in St Charles with Johnny and Mr. Lappin when I was a young boy. I will keep all of you in my prayers.

I used to be a waiter at Nick's fishmarket in Rosemont. That is how I met Doc Lappin and his wonderful family. They are great people. He opened up his home and his heart to all of us from the restaurant and would have the "Lappin Open" every year I was there. We would drive out to St. Charles and golf, then we would all head on over to his house for a big bbq. Good times. My prayers are with his family.

God Bless, Dr Thomas & Mrs C.Anne Lappin.Our love & blessings go out to the family. Chris & Carol Ness

We have been patients of Dr Lappin since we moved to St Charles in 1976. He will be missed very much. Our prayers and condolences are with his family. Mike and Monica Harrington

You will be greatly missed. Not only were you my doctor while I lived in St.Charles, I had the pleasure of working with you at Delnor hospital. You always told my mother how proud you were of me when I became a nurse and that made me feel special. I will alway remember that.

Cindi Stevens

I was very saddened to hear of Dr. Lappins passing. He was a wonderful doctor and a nice guy. I enjoyed our conversations I had with him while being treated. He will be greatly missed by many.

OUR PRAYERS AND THOUGHTS ARE WITH YOU AND YOUR FAMILIES ON THE LOSS OF YOUR PARENTS. HE WAS MY DOCTOR SINCE HE TOOK OVER DR SCHRIEBER'S PATIENTS AND SOMETIMES AFTER OUR MOVE TO MI. THEIR TOGETHERNESS WITH HIM WILL HELP EASE THE PAIN AND COMFORT YOU ALL WITH TIME.

Dr. Lappin was my husband's doctor before we married and after our marriage, he became my doctor. That was 24 years ago and he became my friend as well as my doctor. He will be greatly missed. Please know that your family and his dedicated staff are in my thoughts and prayers at this difficult time.

Dr. Lappin delivered my sister, and was our family doctor forever.

His advice to my father 5 years ago

saved a heart attack, and probably his life. He will be greatly missed, and never forgotten. Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire family.

Our prayers to the family of Dr. Lappin . I was a patient of his for 30 plus years and he was always there when I needed him .He also took care of my mother when she moved in with us . We are truly sorry for your loss.

Dear Tim and Family, we were very sorry to hear of the tragic loss of your parents. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. If there is anything that we can do for you, please let us know.

To the Lappin family,



Although I never had the pleasure of meeting Dr. and Mrs. Lappin I heard a great deal of wonderful things through my brother, Joe and have been fortunate enough to meet Tim and Cathy and their children. I can see through them that their parents must have been truly wonderful people. Please know that you have the entire Silvestro and Reynolds' families prayers and love during this tragic time. May it be comforting to know that your parents are together in heaven.



With deepest sympathies,

Words do not express the depth of such a loss. "Doc" Lappin was more than just our doctor, he was our confidant and our friend. We will carry his love for his patients with us always. God Bless you with love.

We will never forget Dr. Lappin. He took care of our family for the last 24 years. We could always count on him no matter what. He was the best Doctor and a friend as well, and we will really miss him.

Dr.Lappin was a wonderful man. He took care of our family. His life was really dedicated to his patients. He was very approachable,if you called he would get you in, no matter what. My prayers and thoughts go out to the family and his wonderful staff. St Charles lost one of it's finest people, the cream of the crop. May God Bless you all!

You were always there to make us well again, rest in peace and know that you were greatly appreciated.

Our prayers are with your family.

Dr. Lappin was a friend as well as

our family doctor for many years.

To the family of Dr. Lappin,



Words cannot express the loss that each of you is feeling. Your father was a great. He wasn't personally my family dr. but filled in when my doctor was out of town. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
