Dr. Thomas Lee Gross, age 66, died unexpectedly on June 17, 2021. Tom is preceded in death by his mother Vivien, his father Donald, his sister Alison, and his grandparents Fred and Reva Fuller. He is survived by his wife, Louisa (Hollmeyer) Gross, his seven children Mary Cosler (Matthew), James Gross (Mary), Carol Gross, Susan Gross, William Gross (Sherry Jiao), Michael Gross, and Alan Gross, his five grandchildren (Ada, Teddy, Maisy, Wilhelmina, Thomas), and his aunt Elizabeth Crowe (David).

Born in Cleveland, Ohio, Tom attended Northwestern University in 1973. While there he met fellow engineering student Louisa Hollmeyer, and they married in 1977. He attended the Indiana University School of Medicine in 1979 and went on to complete his internal medicine residency and gastroenterology fellowship. A loyal and committed doctor, Dr. Gross worked seven day weeks, working tirelessly to provide the level of care his community deserved. Known for his exceptional bedside manner and unmatched empathy for his patients, Thomas was beloved by his family, staff, coworkers, and community alike. It was the time he spent that showed his love, and something his family will always cherish.
