Saying a prayer for Tom’s family. A good, compassionate man. Grateful to have been able to work with him at High Point.

I loved Uncle Tommy so much.  When I think of him, the first word that comes to mind is FUN.  Uncle Tommy loved to have fun and loved to share his fun adventures with others.  I’ll never forget those wonderful ski trips we took with him to Sugar Mountain.  He actually taught me how to ski.

The second word that comes to mind to best describe Uncle Tommy is generous.  He loved giving to and doing for others. Baking delicious desserts for others “just because”, even though he wasn’t  a big dessert lover himself, was one of his many acts of kindness. 

Uncle Tommy raised two wonderful daughters that I know he was so proud of.  Amy and Sarah, he taught you girls well and I see so much of him in you.  His legacy will live own through your beautiful giving and loving hearts.  I’m so proud to call you my cousins.  

I could fill pages of wonderful memories I have, but for now I’ll just say I’m sad Uncle Tommy isn’t  here with us anymore.  I take comfort in knowing he’s no longer in pain and is resting in the arms of his Savior.  

You made a difference in my life and I will never forget you Uncle Tommy.

Much love,
your niece  Heather Frost

I was so sorry to hear that Uncle Tommy passed away. I wish we could be there to honor your dad along with you. He was a great man.  We want you to know we’re with you in spirit—now and in the days and weeks ahead.

Dear Tom,
 How much fun it was to work with you on Nights the last 6 years of my career. Your sense of humor, of humility, and of honor were second to none. You enriched my life, as well as those around you at "The Regional". Marian & I will wait 'til 5:00, then offer a toast to a life well lived: MISTER Tom Roddy!

When I came to High Point as a specialist in Pulmonary Medicine in 1978, I worked closely with Tom in setting up the pulmonary function lab and managing the Respiratory Therapy Department at then HIgh Point Regional Hospital. He was a great guy to work with.

I worked with Tom at High Point Memorial for years starting in 1970 when my career started. He was always professional and knowledgeable and fun to work with. Prayers and sympathy to his family. Another great professional gone to heaven.


Tom reinforced certain principles of giving of yourself and your material  possessions.  Grateful to have  known  and  worked with Mr. Tom Roddy.  Shed this feeble body and  raise in power. 

I will always remember Tom from my ICU days at HPRH. I was a young gun nurse back then and he was always so kind and funny! I am so sorry for your loss, prayers lifted for peace, strength and comfort! Tom Roddy, you were definitely one of a kind! Rest in sweet peace!

Oh, Mr. Tom, you were just the best. Funny, loving, kind and always trying to find ways to make others feel appreciated.  It is indeed fitting that you would earn your wings on Christmas day, given the fact that you found  time to offer a sweet gift to each of us underneath that pitiful little RT tree in the department.  Your appearances in the middle of the night to bring doughnuts and other fresh baked goodies, visiting when you'd had a little nip of something to drink, were always an opportunity to see the real Tom and the kindness he offered to many.  Thanks for sharing your heart with many, Tom.  You will be missed!

Mr Roddy you were a true gentleman,  I was proud to work with you  at High Point. You are missed.
Condolences to your family.

I enjoyed working with Tom in Respiratory Therapy at High Point Regional for many years.   I am so sorry to hear of his passing.  Praying for all the family. 

I will miss seeing you at the conferences, Hot Rod! I always looked forward to a warm hug, your kind smile, and your stories. Rest In Peace, my dear friend!

Tom was a true Southern Gentleman. I always looked forward to seeing him at our conferences. We would have long conversations about the future of our profession.   All of us will truly miss him in the respiratory care profession. What a wonderful person he was! 

Tom is truly an icon of the respiratory therapy profession. Thank you, Tom, for your service and Godspeed! The NCSRC Symposium won't be the same without you.

I was so sorry to hear about Tom. I am an RRT, teacher, and friend. I cannot remember a conference that I did not see Tom. He was always hanging out with the other Tom (Morris). These two were so much fun to be around. We would laugh and inevitably talk about my shoes. I am including this photo. I have so many fond memories. I send my prayers to you that he left behind but will meet again.

Of all the many people I have met through the NCSRC, Tom was one of my favorites !  He was a kind, caring man with a great sense of humor.  He had a life long interest in Respiratory Care.  I’m glad I got to see him at the last meeting of the NCSRC  in September 2019.  I will miss him. .
