Chuck before retiring in 2013

I have admired Tom throughout his career, and valued his friendship immensely. What a great guy and what a stellar contributor to electrical engineering education and life in general!

In memory of Tom, Sr., I just uploaded a photo taken in Sept. of 2013, which Fred Lee referred to as a gathering of three generations of power electonics professors.

At the Ceremony of 25th Anniversary of IEEE Power Electronics Society in Danver, Colorado, Sept. of 2013

I'd always remember every encounter with him ... first in '94 at Emerald Isle, '98 in "Tofu restaurant" in Fukuoka, Japan, many times at CPES conferences. A Grandfather figure who's always warm, kind, humorous and encouraging for younger generation power electronics engineer like myself. He will be deeply missed.

Your legacy has spread to the other side of the planet. We will always remember your teaching, kindness, generosity, and elegance!

from the second generation ( Dan Chen), the third and fourth-generation students/graduates from National Taiwan University Power Electronic Lab.

A true engineering humanitarian. We will miss his counsel. Ken Phillips

All of us at CPES will always remember your warm smile and feel your gentle kindness in our hearts!! We are thankful for your inspiration!!

From our hearts

Grandteacher of Power Electronics
