It is with a heavy heart and my deepest sympathy that we learn of the passing of another of our Distinguished Veterans and a Valued Comrades. Through a phone call from the Family to Tony Marincola we learned that Dr. Thomas D. O’Brien, B Company, 194th Glider Infantry Regiment, 17th Airborne Division, passed away on 13 June 2009. I was able to contact the Family yesterday to obtain the essential information for this message. Following his service in World War II Dr. O’Brien was trained as a Veterinarian, graduating from the University of Missouri Veterinary School in 1951. Following his graduation he opened up the Edina Feed and Livestock Store. Dr. O’Brien had a passion for small animals (cats and dogs) and he never did retire. He joined our Association in 1972 and remained a Member in good standing until our dissolution. The cause of death was complications from Lymphoma and Diabetes at the age of 84.
