Saddened to learn of the loss of one of the great science and general news writers of our time, vastly underappreciated professionally, but well loved and appreciated personally and socially by his many and diverse friends and acquaintances. Here's to one of the best of the "old breed" of daily newspapermen. Condolences to Mary Kate and his family.

Thomas was great companion and writer and will be missed by the many who socialized and worked with him. I'm sorry that I didn't get to spend more time with him the past few years.
