Thomas R. Pellegrino, M.D., died at home on Thursday, November 17, 2011 after a short illness. With his passing the Hampton Roads community, especially the Eastern Virginia Medical School, have lost a distinguished physician, teacher and friend. He is survived by his beloved wife of 43 years, Jane A. Brodie Pellegrino, his son and his daughter-in-law, Daniel E. and Nicole M. Krieger Pellegrino and his daughter, son-in-law and grandson, Alice M. Pellegrino, Bryan K., II and Andrew Thomas Cowan. His memory will long be honored by all who were privileged to know him and to work with him.
Dr. Pellegrino was born in New York City, the son of Clementine Coakley Pellegrino and Edmund D. Pellegrino, M.D. Dr. and Mrs. Edmund D. Pellegrino currently reside in Bethesda, Maryland. Thomas was the oldest of seven siblings: the late Stephen M. Pellegrino, formally of Frankfort, Kentucky, Virginia M. Pellegrino of Huntington Beach, California, Michael J.

He earned his MD degree from the University of Kentucky where he was named as a member of Alpha Omega Alpha, national medical honor society.

Dr. Pellegrino served as Chairman of the Department of Neurology, Director of the Neurology Residency and was named James E. Etheridge, Jr. MD Distinguished Professor in Neurology.

During part of his service at EVMS he engaged in the private practice of neurology as a partner with Neurology Specialists.

After learning of Dr. Pellegrino's illness the students of EVMS presented a one and a half hour tribute to Dr. Pelllegrino, recognizing his skills and accomplishments as a physician, teacher, and mentor.

He was an active parishioner at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Norfolk. He was a lifelong lover of the outdoors enjoying camping, hiking, sailing, biking and kayaking.
