Tad was one of those rare people liked and respected by all. At W&C there were many, many late nights, and I often dropped by his office to chat - and end up with sage advice or a hearty laughs. He planned numerous happy hours and card games, where work colleagues became real friends. He rose to meet every academic and professional challenge he faced. He was truly a great guy and will be missed.

Tad and I met at White & Case where we were colleagues and became close friends. Whenever I had an important decision I always went to him for advice. He always made us laugh as he had a great sense of humor (even in tough times) and was one of the brightest attorneys I have ever met. We kept in touch through the years despite being tens of thousands of miles away and I would always stop to see him while visiting the States. He would graciously offer a place to crash while in Miami, he was that generous. He would always goof around when I was telling him that I missed him and all my friends in Miami and he would tease me with the fact that there are no palm trees where I live (hence the photo). You will be forever in our hearts dear friend. Tudor & Alina

Tad and I were great friends from Law School - he was wise, he was funny and he was generous. I enjoyed laughing together and playing cards with Toodles. We will miss him and we pray that he rests in peace. With great love and affection, DP

I met Tad 36 years ago, when his Dad, Paul, came to the University as its first-ever vice president and general counsel. Tad was swimming at the time, either taking lessons or on Bill Diaz's Hurricane Swim Club. I've followed him ever since, watching his academic career with awe. He was a good person and will be missed.
