Not sure what to say?

I am very sorry to hear of Tom,s passing. He was a great editor - the area in which I have had professional contacts with him -, and always very friendly when our paths crossed in conferences.

Dear Marge and Amy:
We have so many fond memories of Tom and his enthusiasm for family, life, travel, wine, and work! After our friendship began in Indonesia in the late 70's, even though we saw each other or called infrequently, it always seemed that there had been no time between visits. We were honored to share in the early hours of Amy's adoption and remember how tiny she was and how Tom bonded with her immediately! Our thoughts and prayers are with you. We hope to visit again soon.

I'm sending my deepest sympathies to Marge and Amy. I loved your dad, Ames, and was honored to have been able to meet him and spend time at your house in KY. Tom was a wonderful man and will be sorely missed. I love you Momma Leinbach! Much love, Amy Waggs.

My deepest sympathy to friends, family, and co-workers. A sunset on earth is a sunrise in heaven. Tom was one of our favorite users to visit us in Academic Computing.

He admirably balanced his time between family and professional matters, a...

Tom was a good friend of mine at Penn State where we were in the masters degree program in geography during the mid-1960's.

Tom was always a good listener and willing to share ideas. I hadn't seen Tom for some time and was surprised to hear of his untimely passing.

Tom was the perfect academic in every way, including a lifetime of productive research.

Best of all, he was a valued friend of mine during our years at Penn State.

My condolences go to...

I am heartbroken to hear of Tom's passing. I didn't know him well, but we always spoke at Penn State alumni gatherings at the AAG and he was very kind to me when I interviewed for a job at UK. He was a class act and I'm very glad to say that we met. All of you are in my thoughts and prayers.

I am so sorry to hear about Tom's passing. I enjoyed working with him on Growth and Change and especially exchanging fishing stories. He was a good friend.

We are so sorry to hear about Dr. Leinbach's passing. He was one of our
favorite instructor's during graduate school in the early 80's.
