Thomas MULHOLLAND Obituary

Dear Livi Tommy Sammie and Auburne
Dee
Tom and Marlene and extended family
I so sorry we can´t be with you today but we will be with you from Okato

As I sit here and write this so many memories come flooding back from your time in Okato
Tom was so loved in our district
As a nurse working with him in the beginning when you all came here

I remember when he told me he was going to set up a Emergency Department in New Plymouth determination made it happen!!
Then Dr Goble WOW an amazing contribution to Health on line.
I remember
The phone call asking me to sell your beautiful villa in Okato a home that he loved
I said no your not leaving He replied Pat "it´s time to move on "
And move on you did
We missed you all so much

The memories of talks over coffee on the deck
The stories and laughs and the excitement he had about what he was going to do in the future
Tom will be remembered for the many things he has achieved but the most precious memory is his smile, his big hugs whoever you met him and his unconditional love he had for life and his family

He will always be remembered and loved
Pat and Lyndsay McFetridge

I didn't know Tom, but knew of him, through his Mum, Marlene. It's been a long time Marlene, since Upper Hutt Health Centre days, but I've never forgotten you or the pride and affection with which you spoke of your "kids". Please accept my deepest sympathy and sadness at the loss of an adored and hugely respected son, Dr, family member and friend. I'll be thinking of you as you negotiate your way through this heartbreaking reality. Love and warm thoughts, Philippa Edlin

Tom so sad to hear of your passing been a while since I’ve seen you wish we caught up more

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

Dr Tom, your direct friendly support, advice, help and intervention on health & personal issues 30 + years ago whilst in New Plymouth will forever stand strong with me & many others. Thankyou mate. RIP.

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.He was a man on a mission,and followed through with his actions to get the health message out to those who made it less of a priority.

To Melissa and family. So sorry to hear of your huge loss. I remember how much you loved your big bro.
With love

Words cannot express how much Dr Tom will be missed in this world.
I will always remember Tom's exhuberance, passion, inspiration, compassion, humility and heartfelt caring nature. His huge 'presence' filled a room, as much as his stature did.
I helped Tom tell 'his own story' by launching his first book at the 2005 London Book Fair, then promoted his second book and 'Healthy Thinking' programme into the corporate world.
He helped so many people in every area of his life and believed that laughter was the best 'medicine' of all.
Sincere condolences to his beloved family, friends and all the communities where his caring presence made a real difference to people.
