Tom Stockdale was my undergraduate honors thesis adviser when I was in the wildlife management program at OSU in the 1970s and was an excellent mentor, teacher and role model. Condolences to his family and friends. May all whom he touched at OSU honor his memory by continuing to strive for sound stewardship of our natural resources, just as he taught and inspired us.

We were heartbroken to here of Toms passing. We lived next door to him for 21 years. He was a far more than just a neighbor, he was a part of our family! He was very active in his community and the epitome of a true, caring friend, to all who were lucky enough to know him. He will be very sadly missed. ~The Asman Family
