Tom Meeks was a colleague who always had concerns about his physical sciences' students. His nature was kind and soft, he had no pretenses. He enjoyed chatting with his colleagues, sometimes even seeking their advice. He played tennis the way he lived, steadily and analytically, and with easy, fluid movements. His death is our loss.

Tom Meeks, a colleague and friend, was a true gentleman. He always put his students first and was a tireless worker on their behalf. He certainly will be missed by all those who know him.

The last time I saw Dr. Meeks was four decades ago as an instructor of a Physics 101 course. Although I was and am interested in a couple of related sciences I still recall Dr. Meeks's ability to ease the fears of many others in the class who needed reassuring. He was a pleasant person whose promoting of introductory physics to those who would not voluntarily take such a course is something I still and will always remember. My sincere condolences are offered to his sister and his niece.

It was with great sadness that I learned of the passing of Tom today. I remember his kindness to me when I first came to Kingsborough (now 25 years ago). I was not from his dept. but he was always a friendly, smiling face in the hallway. I never knew of his academic training at MIT & Yale but am not surprised. He was indeed, humble, and a wonderful role model to me. My thoughts are with him and his family.
