Tom was a brilliant and kind leader who led the development of the first national standards in any subject area in the 1980s when the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics produced its first national mathematics standards. I was privileged to be a young educator on the committee that developed those standards, and was in awe of the way Tom brought all of us together to share in creating a vision for how the experience of learning math should be for every student. He had a way of leading and guiding with strength, wisdom, and kindness, while always being open to expand his perspective as he took in the thoughts of the rest of us.
