Dear Reddy Family:
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I have very fond memories of Tom. He taught me how to drive and I am sure I was not one of of his A students.
I also remember what a good friend he was of my Dad.
He had a wonderful sense of humor and I remember of famous smile.
I hope he enjoyed retirement and hit many of those little white balls.
I hope he meets my Dad in heaven.
Sincerely,
Joanne Fessett (Patanella)

Dear Marilyn and Family:
My heart goes out to you at this time and in the days ahead. I still vividly remember Tom's laugh, our alley parties, the fish house. He was a generous friend to my dad and to many, many others, including me. I'll always remember Tom as an example of a very loving and devoted father and husband.
Sincerely,
Sharon Gaughan (Patanella)

Dear Reddy Family,
It saddens me to learn of your loss. Our neighborhood was a great place to grow up and Tom Reddy helped to make it that way. May you find peace in knowing he touched so many lives in a strong positive way.

Reddy Family,
Although its been over 50 years since I left Chicago for the Navy, I remember Puddy as a good friend, classmate, and neighbor. We offer our deepest condolences during this sad time.

I must offer my condolences to the Reddy family. I had the pleasure of working with "Puddy" on Eng. 98 many years ago. There was only one, and they threw the mold out after him. Rest in peace Tom.

Dear Mary K and Tedd,
I can't say it enough how much it hurts not to be close by to offer condolences in person, at a sad time like this! I love you both very much and hope you reflect on all the good times with your dad and father in law...I know I'll never forget "Puddy", he was Engine 113 and I'm proud to say I knew him.
Your friend,
