Hi Val -

During the eight years I worked with Tom writing articles for the AAD magazine, he was always so courteous, helpful, and nice to me. No matter how busy he was he always took time to answer my questions as well as just chat about kids, work, etc. I'm glad I knew him and I thought you'd want to know that.

Tom was a fellow doctoral student at NIU in the 80's and was then and continued to be a professional inspiration to me throughout the years. We had similar career paths stemming to the ISMS, Illinois Alliance for CME and the Alliance for CME. He was not only a terrific educator, he was good person. I'm glad I had the opportunity to know him.

Condolences to those closest to him, his wife and children. May you find in the days ahead peace in knowing that he continues to care for you all.
