Not sure what to say?

My deepest sympathy to Brenda and the Cole family.

I was on the Chemistry Faculty at A.U. from 1972-84 and Tom was my boss for most of those years. He was a wonderful person, a great leader, and possibly the smartest person I have ever known.

In loving memory of a wonderful person, a distinguished alum of Wiley College who mentored and always took time to coach, advise, and help others learn and grow professionally. Dr. Cole's legacy of service to so many persons, to Wiley College and Clark-Atlanta University is now preserved in perpetuity. Our prayers go out to Dr. Brenda and Family. Love, Karen Helon and Annie Walker.

President Cole personally exercised his kind influence in my life of my daughter, an alumnus of Clark Atlanta University, Class of 2005. His leadership, skill, and grace will be missed. Rest in heaven.
