Thomas David Henwood, 74, died peacefully Saturday, January 14 at UCSF.He leaves his wife of 48 years, Carol Mulreany; his daughters Blythe and Lindsay; his son Tom Jr.; his five beloved grandchildren; 2 brothers, and many close friends.
Born in Chicago, he met and married Carol while earning his MBA from the University of Chicago.

The family moved to San Francisco in 1994, where Tom continued managing investments and mentoring many young investment professionals along the way.
After being diagnosed with terminal lung cancer in 2009, Tom defied the odds for 8 years with great doctors, a healthy lifestyle, and perseverance.
Tom's courage and determination were an inspiration to all who knew him.
An avid golfer, Tom was a proud member of the San Francisco Golf Club and was an active member of The Family club.
A memorial service will be held on January 25 at Calvary Presbyterian Church in San Francisco at 11 am. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to UCSF Thoracic Oncology Research, c/o Dr. Thierry Jahan, 1600 Divisadero St. SF, CA 94143.

I'm in the same business and saw Tom at investment conferences over the years, always wearing his bow-tie, always polite and always asking very good questions. Only knew him well enough to say 'hi' but will miss him. A good man.

I met Tom through OMT's ownership stake in our company (ALGN) and while quarterly reviews with many investors were less than stimulating, I always found our discussions about the business to be a highlight of the earnings cycle. Tom was a great investor and at his core, a terrific analyst as he could get right to the key value drivers in the business and discuss them cogently.
I came to know Tom better after we joined Lahontan in Truckee and loved seeing his indomitable spirit on show every day; especially when he was with his grandchildren while hitting golf balls.
My deepest sympathies go out to his family and friends and can only remind everyone that he lived a wonderfully full life and from all appearances, didn't get cheated out of a single day. Travel well Tom. May God be with you.

Tom was a dear friend since University of Chicago days. He and Carol travelled similar paths whether business or sociallly as Jerry and I did. We have always been very dear friends and will be with Carol all along her new path.
Tom was a great example in demonstrating his ability to handle death with dignity and courage.
He will leave a void in the lives of many people.
I send my genuine love to Carol and the Henwood family.

what a courageous fight he did. He was always such a pleasure to see, when I walked Juno he would always stop to talk and always had a great smile on his face. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.
