Hi Fred,
I certainly think of Tom with a fondness for his gentle intelligence, quiet sense of humour, and his enjoyment of being in nature…he seemed to be a well informed, well read, thinking person, and clearly someone with a good heart.
We are sorry to hear of his passing, and our thoughts are with you.
