After several attempts to reach Tom by telephone. I recently called his nephew, Tom Peters who informed me of my Army buddy's passing. Tom and I met during WWII in London. We were in the military police together. While in England we visited with his grandparents. We saw one another once after the war, but kept in touch by phone 4 or 5 times a year. I mourn the loss of W. Thomas Hellyar, Esq.

My mother, Mrs. Emma Wolynec, was the Executive Vice President of the American Cancer Society, Vermont Division, for over 20 years during the 50's, 60's and 70's. As I grew up in Vermont, so often I would hear of Tom Hellyar and Mom's admiration of his devotion to the aims and efforts of ACS. They must have shared the same future for the Society, as I believe that they would renew their friendship as the Society would have their annual meetings, etc. etc. I also recall how pleased Mom was when I married and we settled in Connecticut. I believe she was sure that "some day", we would meet her friend, Tom. My husband and I just returned from a 6 week stay in Florida to read of Tom's death, and I know that Mom would have been happy that I could say a word or two to his family about their connection in such a worthwhile effort as helping to eradicate cancer. We send our heartfelt condolences to Tom's family. Fred and Gale (Wolynec) Whittemore
