A Message From The Family of Tommy Hawkins

LOS ANGELES, CA (August 18, 2017) – On behalf of the Hawkins Family, we wish to thank the University of Notre Dame, the Peter O'Malley Family and historic Dodgertown, the Los Angeles Dodgers, Jeanie Buss and the Lakers organization, Steve Hathaway and the Los Angeles Athletic Club, Sam Lagana and Pepperdine University, UCLA, the Associated Press, ESPN, and each of you who have reached out to us with expressions of love and appreciation for Tommy. We are grateful for the messages of comfort and condolences as we mourn Tommy's passing and adjust to life without his considerable presence.

We are planning two celebrations of his well-lived life: One to be held in Los Angeles, CA and one in South Bend, IN. We will make an announcement of dates, times, and locations in the next few weeks.

Thank you and God bless,
Layla, Neda & Kevin and the Hawkins Family
