Dear Tom, you will certainly be missed! You were a stable, dependable force in the lives of many; always dependable, always ready for a laugh, always ready to be serious and helpful when needed! Always a good friend.

We love you and miss you terribly, but we also believe we will see you again to share more wonderful times together forever!

We pray for Sherry, who was so dear to you! She is missing you so terribly now, but we hope she realizes that she will see you again and be able to enjoy your company forever!

Tom and Anna Czupryna. Tom had a kind, thoughtful and generous spirit. We are deeply grateful for his many years of dedication to Lincoln Park Zoo and his many hours as a volunteer in our Conservation & Science Department. He left the world a better place.
