I was one of Judge Fremont-Smith's clerks many many years ago. He was a wonderful and kind mentor and teacher and will be missed.

We will always remember Thayer for his constant smile, his unending energy and love for the outdoors. We shared many a passing smile and a rousing discussion over cocktails. He will be missed at The Ledges.
I will never be able to pass a Ledges wooden sign without seeing him bending over with his paintbrush on the ground to color the white sails and blue lake pictured there with the street name. Why did he do it? Because it needed to be done. That was Thayer. Farewell and Godspeed.

Dear Anne and family,
Thayer was a wonderful, kind, funny, smart and generous human. He touched all he met with his kindness, humility and the sheer force of his intellect. Some people come into our lives, stay awhile and move on. Others come and leave footprints on our hearts. I hope the memories of Thayer, what he stood for and believed in, his kindness and love provide you and your family comfort and support in these sad days.
