My sincere condolences to the entire family. I knew Tom from the NYU College of Arts and Sciences Alumni board. His commitment to the university was so clear and his never-ending energy for life, the environment and his family was enviable. I'm glad I had the chance to know him. Sincerely yours, Bevin Maguire

Jannine and family- my deepest sympathy to your family. I will always have fond memories of your dad from his wonderful explanation of the constellations at Camp Eagle Wing. His company was always delightful. May he Rest In Peace.

John and Jannine, my deepest sympathy to you both on this loss. Tom was a wonderful and thoughtful man. I remember him taking the time to plan an afternoon in Amsterdam for a large bunch of WHS travelers en route to New York from Paris. Delayed in Paris, we got to Amsterdam late and couldn't see the sites as planned but he was there waiting to welcome us to the city.
