We miss you, Tom, and the time we spent together will be something that we will remember for the rest of our lifetime. Rest in peace, my friend.

Condolences from Hicksville High School Cass of 1974. So sorry for your loss.

"I'm so sorry for your loss, and may the happy memories of your
loved one stay with you always."

I would like to send my condolences to the family . Tom .DR Dowe was. A great guy very giving and none judgmental. I remember the time he told me to use his brand new boat . I never drove a boat 🚤 but Doc he didn’t care he wanted me to have a great weekend experience. He was a caring and giving person . I just want to say .. Am  Thankful for being  able to have met him and become friends with him.  My he rest in peace and my god bless him and his family

Although I only worked with Dr Dow for a handful of years early in my career, my memories of him are vivid and marked by his generosity of spirit. Indeed the man beamed from within and it seemed to touch everyone fortunate enough to be around him. He was clever yet fair in business and held strong morals for patient advocacy. He was such a good natured guy, riotously funny and lit up a crowded waiting room with a smile. Those indelible memories will be all the more cherished now and continue to bring me great joy even as I mourn his passing. My sincere condolences to family, friends, patients and colleagues.

Condolences to his family and his friends

I had the privilege of knowing Dr. Thomas Dow Sr., a truly remarkable gentleman who touched the lives of many, including my own, inspiring us to be better versions of ourselves. Though his sudden departure has left many hearts heavy, I find solace in knowing he now rests peacefully by God's side, watching over us with a gentle smile. His legacy will endure through his successor, ensuring that his light continues to shine brightly. Rest in peace, dear friend. You will be deeply missed.

Rest in peace my brother.

This photo says it all. Dr. Dow lived life to the fullest and he will be missed dearly by all

In my 18 yrs w/ Dr. Dow I could write a book on all the memories I've been blessed to have w/ him as my chiro/doc/friend. Chapters of Kindness, Healing, Teaching, Humility, Fun, Love, Laughter, Positivity, Strength, Lessons, God, Life, Parenting, Friendship, Knowledge, and the list goes on. I wasnt prepared for this chapter. Dr.Dow was one of the most Beautiful souls I've ever known. A Blessing from God. My Mom passed in 2007 and the first person I ran to was Dr.Dow. I knew he could calm me down w/ his beautiful, loving energy. He talked and hugged me through it. I had brain surgery 2018 and I was petrified. I trusted him to choose my surgeon. Took me to the hospital at 5am and stayed w/ me the day of making it easier. He did. The memories are endless.... Tommy and KJ. His face would light up more when speaking of how proud he was/is of them. They're so blessed to call him Dad. My heart and prayers go out to them and all of his family for strength and peace during this difficult time and always. I pray my beautiful Dr.Dow that you're in the loving arms of God and feeling a love and a peace that surpasses what we can feel here. You were an Angel who walked among us w/ a heart of gold. It would be impossible to forget you and I'll always Love you and hold onto the memories. So Grateful to you and Thankful for you. You Blessed me. Prayers to All who were Blessed to know this Amazing Man. I love you Dr. Dow and will always miss your uplifting voice that so many times got me through.....Unforgettable.

I've had the pleasure and honor of knowing  Dr. Dow for over 15 years and he will truly be missed. He always treated me like I was family and he could always light up whatever room he was in.    He was a rockstar and a beacon of light that I always looked up to. I harken back to the early days when I first met him and cherish the good times that we had. He always encouraged me to be the best I could be and was always available despite his busy schedule. Yes, he is gone too soon but he will forever live inside my heart. I love you Dr. Dow and may God keep you and forever bless you and your family!!

God, we need your help while we’re grieving for our friend Tom, Please send us the comfort and encouragement we need. Let us feel your peace and love in tangible ways. Help us adjust to life without Tom and let go of him entrusting him to you. Heal our hearts from the shock of the sudden passing. We believe in your promise to bring good purposes out of any situation for those who trust you. If you will, please even send us a heavenly sign that Dr. Tom Dow is well and now in your care. As we reflect on this sudden passing, it reminds us that none of us knows how long we have left to live. Teach us to use each day that you give us to the fullest. Help us do all we can to live well and spread your love in this world. Please have mercy on us as we struggle with the pain of grief. Let us sense your presence with us day by day in our mourning. May we emerge from this difficult journey with a stronger faith.

Hey dad, i hope you see this video you sent me back in 2021, 5:40 AM the morning of your heart procedure that stopped your heart for 2 minutes. People say that things happen for a reason, and you a big believer in that. You also said that only god in in control of life and when its you time he will take you. I am so fortunate to have the extra 2.5 years to enjoy you and vacation with you. I will never forget this opportunity and truly humbled by your strength, motivation, energy, and dedication towards Kenneth and I. I know it was the harderst thing for you being in an old mans body, being in pain, not being able to walk far, taking an medications, this was not your style. You always were soooo smooth and fresh, clean cut, and when you walked into a room the energy would change. God bless you on your journey today and keep watching down from heaven at your two boys continue helping thousands of people get better, I love you!

Rest in peace Tom.  Im grateful for all the great times we shared in and out of the office.  Your dynamic jovial nature will always be part of my spirit  thanks to your open hearted ways.  Much love to the family during this difficult time 🙏🏻

Tom is one of those angels on earth that you want around forever to spread love, laughter, lightness of spirit, and generosity.
My heart breaks for his family, friends, and patients. His legacy of healing and love will live on in the hearts and minds of all those he touched throughout his life. I am one of the blessed ones to have worked as his office manager back at the beginning. He served ALWAYS from the heart, and was the most generous and supportive mentor and friend throughout Chiropractic college.
Rest, dearest Tom, and shine your light from where you are. God Bless You🙏💜
With love and gratitude, Teresa Wukich

My condolences to the Dow family.  Tom treated my clients as well as myself on a few occasions.  All my clients were happy with his care.   While I only knew Tom at a professional level, I can say this... that he always gave experienced and expert care to all his patients.  I enjoyed talking to him over lunch a few times and enjoyed listening to his history and stories.    I am saddened by his death.  May he R.I.P.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Having been through a similar experience recently, I truly understand the pain you're feeling. My deepest condolences to you and your family during this difficult time. May your father's memory be a source of comfort and strength to you, as mine is for me.

Our deepest condolences to the entire family. May his memory be eternal.

My condolences for the departure of your beloved father . May God repose his soul in paradise .
