I was shocked and deeply saddened when I learned of Tom's death.We worked closely together over the past three years as local chapter treasurers of our respective professional organizations, ASM and TMS, which held joint monthly dinner meetings. Tom was always very helpful, cooperative, compassionate, and a true gentleman. I will sorely miss him.

I was deeply saddened to hear of Tom's passing. I knew him mostly by association with TMS and was always struck by his energy, enthusiasm and can-do attitude. I will surely miss him at upcoming meetings and my sincerest condolences to his family.

I worked with Tom as Treasurer, Vice Chair and Chair of the Boston Chapter of ASM (a professional society), which had many joint meetings with TMS (his primary professional society). We benefited from his commitment and devotion to TMS. I also enjoyed his wry humor, feel the loss and wish I had gotten to know him better.

It was with great sadness that I learned of Tom's unexpected demise via my email from Herb Newborn while vacationing in Florida. My association with Tom was primarily through planning and attendance at joint meetings of ASM and AIME. Tom set a wonderful example of responsibility and devotion to the continued successful operation of the AIME local chapter. He was at the reception table at the last joint meeting in January at the MIT Faculty Club continuing his longtime support by discharging the Treasurer duties of AIME. It is always a sad day when a familiar face is gone.
