Tom Tanner

I still miss "The Magnet." Two years later, seems to have made no difference. Rest in peace my friend.

I found out about what had happened to Tom only last week. He was a highly capable economist, respected colleague and very affable person. I was deeply saddened to hear the tragic news, and my sincerest condolences go to his family.

I knew Tom from about 1996 through 2004, when I was an economist at NIST and Sandia, using the REMI model. He was the most willing and able economist to support the work we were doing, and the nicest guy to work with. In fact, I tried to recruit him almost solely on his incredible personality --- the kind of guy anyone would want to work with. His passing is a complete surprise to me. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help others with the voids he has left behind.

I’m so sorry this has happened to Tom. I’m just sick about it. He was so neat to me, just an amazing person. I wish I’d known him better but what fun it was to always say, what color is this whenever I saw him in the halls of Lucy Cobb. Chris Pavlak really said it all. I’ll always remember all the wonderful things that Tom Pavlak said about Tom Tanner. All prayers to Tom’s daughter and family. It’s so sad. And all prayers for Tom’s soul to be at peace.

I knew Tom Tanner through his daughter. Words can't express my deepest sympathy for all of Tom's loved ones, family, and friends. I will continue to pray for all of you, especially for his daughter!

Our deepest sympathies.

I did not know Mr. Tanner, but my sympathies and prayers are with his family and the families of the other victims. Please know that people you've never met are praying for you during this time of loss.
