I am shocked! I worked with Tom his whole career at the Harlow Primate Lab..... and I was his supervisor for 9 years. I will miss Tom so much.... he was my friend and co- worker and we had many adventures together.
My condolences to his family and his many friends.
How sad....

The 60 kids who spent 7 years will never forget. It was a small tight group of friends who tolerated hot lunch and a lot of rosaries together. I'm so sorry for your loss.
