As one of many trainees whose lives were transformed by Tom Weller, I would like to emphasize how grateful I and others are for the lifetime of opportunity that he opened for us and for the overseas colleagues with whom we have been privileged to share his dedication,his skill and his enthusiasm.

To the Weller family, please accept our sincerest condolences for the loss of your loving father. I met him one time and it was one of the fondest of memories.
