I just heard about Tom's passing. I was privileged to work with him as a consultant on several litigation cases, and he assisted me, pro bono, in the rebuilding of my family's house after Hurricane Andrew. He was a fine gentleman. Condolences to his family. May his memory be as a blessing.

Tom was an excellent neighbor and a great friend to all in the neighborhood. He will be missed very much. It was always a pleasure being in his company and I will miss chatting with him in the evenings as he walked his dog Daisy.
My heartfelt condolences to all his kin.
