Tom Thurber Has Peaceful Death Jan. 13, 2007

Tom Thurber's daughter Tianna and his friend Timmy Swearingen sent these notes:

Hello everyone.  I just wanted to let all of you know that my Dad passed yesterday around 1:15 p.m.  He died peacefully in his sleep.  The cause is unknown.  I went to visit him on Thursday and it was very sad.  Physically he seemed fine.  He was very dillusional and restless. It's a relief to know that he is finally at peace.  What a great complicated man.  There will be no funeral.  I donated his body to science. (Duke University Medical Center)  When I receive his ashes I will think long and hard where to scatter them.  He loved so many different places. Hopefully he can help others with his condition.  I think he would have been okay with this.  With Love To All,  Tiana Thurber

Paul V. Davis, Nov. 5, 2004

Dear Tom and Class of '68:

 

It is with great sorrow that I inform all of you of the death of my husband Paul V. Davis.  He had been ill since March, 2004, but appeared to be doing very well this past fall.  He passed away on November 5 after a sudden bout with infection. 

 

I cannot tell you how difficult this has been for me and our son Mark.  Paul was truly a follower of Christ and very concerned about people in need.  He initiated a St. Vincent DePaul chapter at our church and also a program for housing and mentoring homeless families, with the goal of helping them get the skills necessary to succeed in life on their own.  I know his background at Notre Dame contributed to his choosing to do this work.  In fact, he often said that himself.

 

Paul was also very active in our parish, heading the building committee planning our new parish center and being deputy grand knight in the Knights of Columbus.

 

Please remember Paul and our family in your prayers.

 

Warm regards,

 

Lynne Davis
