TOM and Suzette. I was shocked to see that Tommy had died. He was great fun to be with and ski with so many years ago. God bless you both during this time and all of your years to come. Ray Gaffney

Dear Carol, Justin, Lindsay and Eric, I will always remember Tom with a smile on his face. I will treasure the brief talks that we had every now and then as he passed by while walking Dexter. Pepper would run to greet them with glee. Indeed, Tom will be sincerely missed. Abenaa will always remember the ease with which Tom shared ideas through conversation and jokes with her. His easy-going nature resonated with her. In this time of reflection, I share this scripture with the hope to ease your spirit for a moment: "...Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you..." John 4: 1-2. While no longer with us in the physical form, Tom’s energy will remain with us all as a beacon of light in the ebb and flow of our life journey. Performed by the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga Chamber Singers, I dedicate this rendition of Roland M. Carter's “In Bright Mansions Above” to you in memory of Tom - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4iraKW7rHWk 4 My love to your family. Please do not hesitate to let me know if you need anything. Georgia (Abenaa's Mom).

My deepest condolences to Tom's family. I worked with Tom for a number of years at Thomson Reuters. What an amazing person he was. I always regarded him as genuine, first and foremost, above all other qualities. He would stop by my cubicle and share his stories about his family, his children and his sailing. Tom loved his wife and children deeply and it always came across when conversing with him. Tom was a respected professional with utmost integrity. A true technologist, who would roll his sleeves up and get to the bottom of an issue at hand. Thank you Tom for being a wonderful colleague, for helping and supporting everyone who worked with you and for sharing your knowledge of and perspective on technology and the world at large. Rest in peace. Boris Belous
