I will miss my dear friend and poet who “…was born to making rhymes, and never could forget it. You better run the other way, when you see a poet.” (excerpt from his published book of poems)
When I retired he wrote “with great appreciation for who you are...”
So long, Frank, we love you,
No one ranks above you,
And all of us agreed
To wish you now, God-Speed!
Allow me to plagiarize that farewell…
So long, Tom, we love you,
No one ranks above you,
And all of us agreed
To wish you now, God-Speed!

I am very sorry to read of the loss of, Dr. Sellers, Jr. He was a very faithful and dedicated man, married for 63 years! I won't pretend to know what you're going through, but what has helped me deal with the loss of those I love is turning to the Scriptures, something that has been a real source of comfort. One Scripture that gives me hope is, John 11:25, which says, "Jesus said to her: “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who exercises faith in me, even though he dies, will come to life." I hope that this verse will also comfort you and, I hope you and your family can get through this difficult time. Please accept my condolences for the loss of your beloved husband, father, grandpa and friend. Sincerely, Meryl, jw.org

SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS. UNCLE TOMMY WILL BE MISSED.I REMEMBER WE SHARED A LOVE OF MUSIC.

To the Sellers Family:
My deepest condolences to you all. I am an Emory medical and public health student who benefitted from the Thomas F. Sellers Jr. Scholarship. I never got to meet Dr. Sellers but have heard so much from my mentors at Rollins School of Public Health about his brilliance, charm and wit. I very much appreciate his and your family's generosity in helping me in my education through this scholarship. You must know how Dr. Sellers impacted so many of us Emory students. My warmest regards to the Sellers family.

Early in my academic career, it was a great pleasure when Tom would stop by my office in the Steiner Building and tell me stories sparked by his view of the various other buildings seen from my office window. I will always be proud to have received Emory's Thomas Fort Sellers award for exemplifying his characteristics and to be the recipient of one of his mother's cookbooks.

I worked with Dr. Sellers for many years when he appeared as a medical expert on behalf of the Social Security Administration in disability hearings. He provided his independent medical opinion on a host of medical conditions. He was a great witness and I learned so much from him. In addition he was a wonderful story teller.

This is a correction to incomplete information: A memorial service is planned for February 18 at 10 am in the sanctuary of Peachtree Presbyterian Church with reception to follow. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Emory Rollins School of Public Health, Thomas F. Sellers, Jr. scholarship fund.

I thank you, Tom, for 4 decades of support, gentle wisdom, and friendship. You did what you could to improve primary health care for the underserved in our region. You championed the teaching of community focus and compassion to generations of students. You helped me transition from carpet-bagger to dedicated Georgian.
