Tommy Pacello, an attorney and city planner who championed changes in streets and buildings to make Memphis a friendlier place for pedestrians, died Monday night at 43. He had previously announced his diagnosis of terminal pancreatic cancer. With a law degree and master's degree in city and regional planning from the University of Memphis, Pacello worked as an assistant city attorney in the division of planning and later served as president of the Memphis Medical District Collaborative. The Commercial Appeal has more on his work and legacy. Funeral arrangements are still pending.
