I have just heard of Tom's passing. Tom was a mentor to me at my first job at Touche Ross. Tom was so helpful and seemed to just take everyone "under his wing" to help us all succeed. Never met anyone in public accounting that was friendlier than Tom. That was 1978.

About 36 years later, after all those years, I ran into Tom again as he was representing the Lender for a company I worked for. It was great to catch up and see that Tom had not changed at all. Though we never got together for that drink after work, I will always have fond memories of Tom. Tom was such a great guy!

So shocked and saddened and sorry to hear the news. I enjoyed Tom's company during our rounds of golf at Beverly CC. Truly a fine gentleman. So sorry for your loss.

I am so sorry to hear the sad news of Tom's passing. I met Tom at Trump Tower working out. He was such a wonderful, friendly, genuine man! A true gentleman! I even played a round of golf with Tom at Beverly.

To Tom's family, please try to focus on celebrating his wonderful life, rather than on your terrible loss. There is much to celebrate a quality person like Tom. You all are in my thoughts and prayers.
