What a wonderful and exciting day for the Dempsey Family, San Dieguito, our community and the City of Encinitas!
On Friday, Oct. 14th we honored one of our own legends Tom Dempsey, Class of ’64 by inducting him into San Dieguito’s Hall of Fame! We got to meet Tom’s family and share many of our stories about Tom with them.
Also on hand was Tony Kranz, Encinitas Councilman (representing the City of Encinitas) who presented a proclamation to the Dempsey Family declaring Oct 14th, 2016 “Tom Dempsey Day” in the City of Encinitas!
Tom’s family who attended were, his wife Carlene, daughters Ashley and Meghan, son Toby, grandson Dylan, sister Jan and husband, and niece Jessica and fiance.
