Today a team was saddened in learning of Thomas” passing. We were scheduled to meet and talk opportunities. Our meeting had been rescheduled from the 14th. I had to check up on him when I hadn’t heard anything. He was a good friend, who always kept everyone in his thoughts. He looked and knew how to work with everyone… I know after 15 years.. I will miss those times. He was a wonder to work with and our community suffered a true loss. Thank you Tom and your family for sharing him with us. He was an amazing person. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.
I worked with Thomas for several years. He was a brilliant and delightful scientist who always thought out of the box. He had ideas that were so far ahead of what the customer was willing to imagine. Years later we talked about how technology, he discovered, was being used to make our world a safer place. One of Thomas's ideas was themed "Project Pi" (3.14) and every March 14th we would exchange text messages and catch up on our families. He loved his family so much and told many stories of how proud he was of his children and grandchildren. The happiest I ever saw him was when he and Sally fell in love. Today is a sad day that I will not hear back from him via text, but I know he is in heaven and will reply in prayer.
Thomas was a kind soul and a dear brother in Christ. I remember how much my daughter enjoyed the Sunday school classes he taught the children many years ago. He always had a smile and kind words to share.

In Loving Memory of Thomas
It’s hard to put into words just how much Thomas meant to me—not just as a boss, but as a mentor, a friend, and one of the most extraordinary people I’ve ever known.
Thomas led with wisdom, kindness, and a rare ability to make everyone feel valued. His leadership wasn’t about authority—although you knew who was boss, but it was about trust, and belief in those lucky enough to work with him.
Thomas started out a boss but became a friend. He was someone I could turn to for laugh and we had some good ones along the way.
My heart goes out to Sally, Mitch, and Jesse. I know what you've lost.
Rest easy, my friend. You were the best, and you will be deeply missed.

Thomas was one of the most optimistic, talented and innovative people I’ve ever met. I truly enjoyed the opportunity to work with him and the friendship we developed. One of my fondest memories of Thomas was when people at work first learned that he and Sally were together; I’ve never seen anyone with a bigger smile. He will be missed. My condolences to the family.
