So sorry to hear of your passing.. I was just trying to get in touch with you to arrange to meet you for lunch at your favorite Greek restaurant in Lowell and found you had moved on. I'lll surely miss the great conversations we had, filled with your wit and sarcasm when called for, and your wide breadth of life and technical knowledge when called upon for help or advice. My condolences to your loved ones, you are dearly missed.

Tom was an amazing fellow and it was my good fortune to have known him for many years in the electronics industry. He consented to write a chapter for my book on flexible circuits on the early days of the technology. Tom was a pioneer of the flexible circuit industry and was an early inventor of flex circuit technologies that inhabit nearly every piece of hand held electronic equipment in use today. He will be missed but his inventions will continue to benefit people around the world for decades if not centuries to come. I am saddened by your passing but you have earned your rest, Tom, do so in peace, my friend

I knew Tom back in the early and mid-seventies and sailed with him many times out of Manchester, MA. He was one of the nicest guys I ever knew. Over the years, and lives going in different directions, I lost touch with him but have some wonderful memories of being on the ocean with him.
May he rest in peace.

We have lost our dear longtime friend. Tom was a most incredible and brilliant man full of wonderful stories. Our deepest sympathies for Arden, Joan and Wendy and their families plus the gracious Mary Ann. He left us all with very fond memories. You cannot think of him without smiling.
