Thinking of Tom
November 2007
I've received a few emails from Fractal Design alumni and friends, expressing sympathy and fond memories of Tom. I wanted to pass them along to Robin, Colin and Broghan. From Jeremy Sutton: From Steve Guttman: From Jon Bass: I will always remember a brief encounter that I saw between Tom and his son at the grocery store in Aptos. They were in the candy isle picking out candy and talking to each other about the pros and cons of each others' candy choice. They talked like peers and I was struck with the thought that Tom was always able to hold on to the inner spirit of a child. I hope I shall be so lucky." From Caitlyn Meeks-Klöcker:
"That is very sad news. Thank you for thinking to let me know. My sincerest condolences to Tom's family. I have fond memories of him - such a warm person."
"Would you please pass my condolences on to the family and others?
...
Tom was really a great guy--one of the most influential technologists in image-editing, and a terrific person.
We'll miss him, greatly."
"Thank you for forwarding this message on. I am so sorry to hear that Tom has passed.
"Tom was a great guy. I'm really sorry to hear about that."
