Glenda and family,
My thoughts are with all of you! I have worked with Tab for many, many years and always enjoyed his story telling and his adventures. He will be sorely missed by all of MIT Lincoln Laboratory.

Tab's smile and sense of humor will be sorely missed at AMC August Camp. Love and condolences to Glenda and Dan. We hope to see you soon.

I was hired by Tab in 1978 when he was the group leader of Group 32. Tab was the most kind, encouraging, and smart person I have ever worked with over the past 40+ years. During the recent pandemic, he joined the AI/ML/DL reading group that I have been coordinating. Tab was always the first person to join the Thursday morning paper review zoom sessions. I had chances to chat with him before the sessions began. He talked about his garden, his photography hobby, his travel plans this summer, etc. During the session, Tab was the most "talkative" person in the group and we were all greatly benefited from his experiences and unique insights of the problems. Lots of fun memories. We will miss him.

I am an AMC friend of Tab´s. He was a gentleman that all loved from the moment they met him. I will miss him at camp. Sending hugs to the family and to Dan who I also know from camp. Deborah Schmitz, Carmel, Indiana
