Thomas Fletcher Tedder Ph.D.

I am heartbroken to learn of the passing of my dear and precious friend. I will cherish my memories of the early UAB days and throughout the years later. I prayed for your health and happiness and now I pray for the same for your boys. Rest peacefully, dear and sweet Tom Terrific.

I am so sad to hear about the passing of Dr. Thomas Tedder. Dr. Thomas Tedder is not only a brilliant scientist, educator, and leader, but also a remarkable individual whose influence touched many lives. I had the privilege of working as a research associate under his guidance from 1999-2004 which started and boosted my professional career. He taught me many lessons, and I still remember the first time I reviewed a paper with him, where he taught me: "Don´t believe everything you heard,...

My heartfelt condolences to Tom's family. I worked closely with Tom for over a decade. I had a first-hand view of his research as a patent attorney working on several of his patents.

Sending heartfelt condolences to the family, particularly Justin (friend of my son).

At that time, we became best friends and, with his 2 sisters, who were also there, we were like family. We studied hard, worked hard on our lab research projects, and played tennis...
