In Memory of Tom Walker

Written By christine tuano

It is with great sadness to share with you the passing of Tom Walker. 

Tom was one of the founding board members of the Laurel Surgical Foundation and he was instrumental in developing the support for our program from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. 

It was with Tom's backing and steady support that the Church was able to provide funding for a surgical eye microscope. This piece of equipment was the cornerstone in the development of the ophthalmology residency training program at the First Hospital in Mongolia. 

Tom was a person that went through life, helping so many, in his modest and quiet manner. 

Tom will be missed by all.

Respectfully yours, 

Chip
