Tom was an inspiration to many and all ages. He used to share his expertise with my biology classes at Ithaca High, where he sparked enthusiasm for their scientific pursuits. He is very missed.

I have very fond memories of Tom, from when I was a teenager and both our families were in Australia, to just a couple of years ago when he visited my family on Cayuga lake and was as excited as a child with the bugs he found there. It was always a pleasure and an adventure being with him.

Tom did indeed leave the world a better place - by his presence in it, his wisdom, his passion to understand, his love of life and living things. We will miss him so much.

16 years ago I attended a Biodiversity
Conference at the American Museum of
Natural History.
I was struck by the number of young biologists wearing T-shirts with "I want to be Tom Eisner when I grow up!"
They hoped he would attend the meeting, but he did not.
