Virginian-Pilot  March 24, 1928
Funeral services for Thomas L. Fee, who died suddenly Tuesday, were held at 9:30 
o'clock yesterday morning at St. Mary's Catholic Church and were largely attended. 
There were several city officials In the church who had gathered to pay their 
respects to the memory of Mr. Fee, who was known to many of Norfolk's best 
citizens as “Tommie.”
Solemn requiem mass was sung by the Rev. Father A J. Taylor, assistant pastor of 
St. Mary’s, and the Rev. P. P. Brennan, pastor of St. Mary's Star- of-the-Sca 
chapel at Virginia Beach, was in the sanctuary. Several sacred selections were 
sung by the Junior choir of St. Mary's parish.
The theme of the sermon delivered by Father Taylor, at the conclusion of the mass, 
was that the desire for happiness which Is implanted In every human heart Is proof 
not only of God’s goodness and providence, but that It Impresses upon one the 
fundamental truths of God's existence and the immortality of the soul.
"Since,” he said, "in life we are continually surrounded by certain pains and 
uncertain pleasures, there must be a place beyond the bourne of time and space 
where alone this craving for happiness will be satisfied.”
Father Taylor exhorted all to work for that final true happiness, and to pray that 
the soul of their departed friend would soon be brought to its complete enjoyment. 
There was a large attendance and many floral offerings. The casket was covered 
with clusters of Easter lilies, pink roses and ferns. Interment was in St. Mary's 
Cemetery. The services at the grave were conducted by the Rev. P. P. Brennan.
Pallbearers were R. P. Smith, J. Frank Blsese, Thomas L. Stapleton. A. H. Blsese, 
William Evans, Ned Chlnchello, Fred E. Chlnchello and E. L. Cote.
