Dear Sue,
I am so sorry for your loss. Tom was a great man, a great physician and a great friend to me. He helped me so much personally at the time of my wife's death in 2005.

He will be missed by all who knew him and especially by me.

All my love to you and your family.

Dear Sue,
I am so sad to learn that this valiant man has gone to his reward. I feel so privileged to have experienced his brilliant leadership and warm heart. His achievements are legion, but I will always remember best the love and regard he had for his family. He was so proud of you and the boys. We will all miss him greatly.

I was honored to call him friend since the 70s, Sue. I cannot recall the many projects we worked on together over those years, the shared meals, the shared stories. I have missed him enormously these past few years, and I will continue to do so until I die.
