Not sure what to say?

I have great admiration for Tom and his work with West Ed. I was one of his students.

I'm so sorry to hear of Tom's passing. I worked with him in the Elementary Education Office at the CA Dept of Education. He was such a generous man, sharing his love of mathematics and strategies for the best way to share that with students. A true professional, but with a caring personality added in.

I played Tom in handball many times and remember the last time we played with great regret: he gave me a donut!

The Manhattan College alumni community shares the grief, and is now praying for our fellow alumni and the family at this time. The Alumni Office has been informed. As well as the Jasper Jottings community that I personally can reach. We are all a little poorer now. "No man is an island, entire of itself ... any mans death diminishes me". We are sorry for your loss.
