I am so sorry for your loss. I worked with Tom at Nelsons and I frequently visited the offices in Boston from the UK to help with the systems.

Over the years my team and I visited regularly and Tom always worked us very hard but it was always good fun! I always enjoyed his company and I learnt a lot from him.

When we implemented a new system and some of the users were struggling I remember him blocking me in a cubicle with some of his team until we got things working for them. He kept passing me coffee but would let me go till his team were sorted!

Dear Carol and family,

I am very saddened to receive the news of Tom's passing. Although we worked together for less than a year at Nelson Bach, I thought of Tom as a mentor then and as a friend ever since.

And I will never forget his professional courtesy and his personal kindness.

One of my fondest memories was spending a summer family vacation at the Fiocco condo in the White Mountains thanks to Tom's generosity.

And we still cherish the pictures we have of Tom playing with our sons Jakob and Joshua at the company picnic when they were only 4 and 2 years old.

May God be with you during this time of grief and sadness.

With very best regards,

Gunter, Lynne and boys

The Bach Flower Community remembers Tom as a staunch advocate for education. It is said that Dr Bach's window was known as 'the light that never goes out.' Tom will always be remembered for his vibrant presence and for helping to keep the flame of Dr Bach's work alive.

We are so sorry for your family's loss. Tom was a great advocate for education, and strongly supported our outreach efforts while he was at Nelsons. He was a large and wonderful presence! Those of us at the Bach Education programs who had the opportunity to work with him are deeply saddened by his passing.

Carol, Lauren, Kristen - my thoughts have been with you and Tom since I first learned of his illness. So saddened to hear of his passing. I haven't seen him in years. The last time was 6 years ago, when we stopped at Pairpoint following a visit to the Cape. He took us on a tour of the glassblowing room and allowed my niece Devyn to help 'create' a black swan. I just saw it on her dresser the other day.
Tom had a huge influence on the path my life took when I moved to MA in 1996. I worked for him at NBUSA till he moved onto Pairpoint. He was a boss, a mentor, a friend, a foe - depended on the day :), but he left a lasting impression in my life. My heart goes out to all of you.
Warmest Regards.
