Not sure what to say?

I knew Tom via his interest in computational modelling. This was a new area and I was impressed how an older scientist would push hard to learn something new. I loved working with him and was always impressed how knowledgeable, kind and supportive he was. I was hoping to reconnect with Tom as I needed some immunology help, and sadly discovered that Tom had passed. Tom will be missed as a colleague and friend.

Having not had the privilege of knowing your husband and father I am in awe of his several accomplishments.

His several accomplishments and dedication are much appreciated. I'm sorry for your loss and hope that you know his impact has made a difference in the lives of people he never knew. Sincerely, Amy Van Buskirk
