I send my condolences to the family and friends of Thomas P. Crotty. We worked together for several decades at KPMG. When he came in for an interview, when KPMG was in NY I recommended him for his first position because I recognized his skills were far above all the others that I interviewed. It was always a pleasure working with him all those years. I will never forget him and keep him in my thoughts.
