I worked for Tom at EDS and have known him since 1986, and he was always one of the most decent individuals I ever had the privledge to work with. He always had a smile and kind word for people, and kept a cool head no matter how heated a situation would get. I remember that he had a constant love of golf but most importantly, his family meant the most to him. He also kept other families in mind, and I remember hearing from him in 2004 when my father had passed away. Even though we hadn't worked together for years, he still kept in touch with people, and that was indicative of the depth of his character. We'll all miss Tom and all of you in his family will be in our prayers. To the Conlin Family: Tom will be greatly missed. He was a friend, a golfing buddy, an excellent EDS leader, a mentor, and someone who was always fun to be around and to work with. His final fight was one of dignity, strength, and sound advice to his friends. It was always clear to those he was with that the most important thing in his life was his family. Our thoughts are prayers are with you. Tom will be missed very much. I worked for him for a while at EDS and loved his approach to both work & life; and the balance he maintained. His quick intellect always kept me on my toes and laughing. May the fact that he is released from pain and in a better place provide some comfort to you. My prayers are with you and the entire family at this time of loss. May God grant you peace! Ray Tom was one of a kind. It was my pleasure and priviledge to work with him at EDS. He will be missed. Maryann - you have my deepest sympathy. Tom was a good manager and friend. We continue to miss him on our annual Myrtle Beach trips and golf outings. Tom's keen wit and humor made the trip fun. Good bye old friend. Molly, Certainly am sorry to hear about your Dad. Know that all of us here at Saint Gertrude will be praying for the family. Joan Dear Molly, Our prayers and thoughts continue to be with you and your family. Peace and Love, Patrick and Sarah McAleer I worked with Tom at EDS. Almost exactly a year ago a group of us EDS Alumni met for lunch in Virginia,Tom was there. He told stories, entertained all and we remembered how great it was to work with Tom - - and how much we love him. He will be missed. I am saddened to learn about Tom Conlin's passing. I'm a friend of Amy's and was fortunate to meet him at Amy's wedding. Though I only knew him briefly I could tell he was a good man and father, it was reflected in the faces of his daughter and family that day. Please accept my heartfelt sympathies for your loss. My thoughts are with you all during this difficult time. Molly, Pat, Abby and Mary Kate: We were so sorry to hear the news of your fathers/grandfather's passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Tony and Virginia Franco I was very sad to hear of Tom's passing. He was a great guy and a good friend of mine and my brother Don. My sincere condolences are extended to my dear friend and high school classmate Mary Ann and to all Tom's family. Dear Molly, My deepest sympathy to you and your family. The school community will keep you in its prayers and devotions throughout the Christmas season.

We love you, The Burtons To the immediate family of Tom, I had the fortune of playing golf with Tom for several years at the LTCC. I must say that it was a great privilege to have interacted with him! I am sorry to hear of his passing and only wish him to be at peace as he has left us. Please know that we keep you all in our prayers. With our deepest sympathy Much love to you all Sandra and Dick Amy, Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you. I know that this will be a difficult time, but think often of the happy times, those fond memories will make the days, weeks and years to come so much more bearable. I have found that memories of my Mom and the accompanying laughter has made her passing so much easier, and allowed me to keep her in my daily thoughts without pain. I wish the same for you, your Mom and sisters. Patti What a tragic loss. Our families go back a long ways and let us remember all the good times in the Philippines. You and Tom did so much for us when we arrived and we enjoyed our two years together. Work and play. Tom was a wonderful friend and will be missed by so many. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the entire Conlin Clan. My God Bless you all. Love Pat and Duke To Kellie and the Conlin family - Our deepest sympathies go out to you, and you will remain in our prayers through this difficult time. Lots of love and hugs, Suzanne, Jason, Jenna, Stephie and Julian Gardiner Mary Ann- My prayers and thoughts are with you and Amy, Kelly, Molly. Tom always had a great smile and a good friend to everyone. Your family was our best neighbor. I had the priviledge of working with Tom at EDS for many years. He always kept his cool, even when I was having a fit! He always brought me chocolate at Christmas. He also had a great sense of humor, always teaasing people about something. I'm so glad a bunch of EDSers had lunch with him last Christmas. He'll be sorely missed. Mary Ann, Kelli, Molley, Amy My heart and prayers go out to you on the loss of Tom, husband and father extraordinaire. I remember when Tom joined EDS. He and I quickly became friends and I had the pleasure of working with him directly for several years. I always found him to be honest, very bright, jovial, the glass was always half full never half empty. He was always a delight to be around. I learned much more from him than he did from me. There will always be a very warm spot in my heart for Tom. May God be with you, Gene and Jerry Lynn Graham We've lost a good friend and the world has lost a truly good man. We will hold on tightly to his memory. Know that our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Love, Mark, Sherry, Steve, Erin, Chad and Jen. Dear Conlin Family, We wanted to express our deepest sympathy for your loss. We have so many fond memories of Mr. Conlin and we will surely miss him. So sorry we could not be there to comfort you during this time of need. Please know you will be in our thoughts and prayers. Love, Jeanne, Marty, Mallory & Kylie Mary Ann...You have our deepest sympathy over Tom's passing. He was a good friend and a great golfter. I will never forget his complaining about the small hard greens at Atlas Valley Country Club in Michigan when he played there with the EDS-GM contract folks...and the 'barbs' he used to gives us all at the annual Myrtle Beach Golf week. We will miss him. Bob Courneya Dear Conlin Family, We are so sorry to hear about the passing of Tom. Being neighbors growing up, I hold many great memories of him dear to my heart, which will always bring a smile to my face. He always had a warm heart and great sense of humor. He will be missed, but will always be in our hearts. We will keep all of you in our thought and prayers. Love, Brian, Meegan, Emma and Gracie Mary Ann - Myrna and I were truly saddened at Tom's passing. He was truly a class act and I always remember fondly the times we spent together. Some of us had a special opportunity to spend time with him last Christmas when he was in town. We were truly fortunate to have known him and will miss him always. My deepest sympathies on behalf of our entire school community. Tom will be greatly missed by everyone at DeSales. His dedication to the school 50 years after his own graduation is just one example of his character. As a board member he took on any task, large and small, with great enthusiam. His passion for his alma mater and his concern for our students and the quality of their education are gifts that will be forever cherished. Mary Ann, you and your family are in our prayers. Mary Ann & family, I have enjoyed meeting you and sharing in family times with you. I am sorry for your loss and have been praying for all of you. Love, Linda What a great accomplishment for a great man. He was a perfect role model for the youth of today. May He Rest in Peace.---------Mickey Scarcia ;
