I recently received a message from our friend and classmate, Barbara Lanagan regarding the passing of our dear friend and former classmate at Normandin Junior High. Thomas "Tommy" St Pierre passed away, unexpectedly, on Dec. 9th, 2019, at home. Tom had been dealing with some health problems, however, his demise was not expected. I was with him on Friday evening proceeding his death and he was in great spirits and very positive. Tom entered the US Marines and served with incredible distinction during the Vietnam War. His brother, Michael, was also a Marine and one of the very first casualties of the War that was from New Bedford. Tom's services were held this past Sunday and I spent time with his dear family, including his son Aaron, who resides in New Mexico, and his sister, Carol Fallon. He left behind his dear and devoted Bulldog, Diesel. Tommy was interred at the National Cemetary at Joint Base Otis on Monday, December 10th. He was buried from the Boulevard Funeral Home in NB. Although "Tugboat", as he loved to be called, didn't graduate with our class, his endeavors on behalf of all of us will always remain dear to my heart. I felt compelled, after communicating with Barbara, to post this acknowledgment to commemorate his friendship to so many of us, his dedicated service in the US Marine Corps, and to bring him close to a family he loved and respected and to those he grew up with and remained friends with his entire life.
