Tom was my only first cousin. Being eight years older than Tom I saw him grow from infancy. Early on he exhibited a great interest in science, "Why is pee yellow". Because of his love of nature one never knew what would hop, crawl or slither out of his bedroom,"The Thamnophis is missing". Very early on he showed great talent for drawing, a talent he passed on to his daughter. Tom was understated in his brilliance and a gentle soul. I shall miss him greatly.
