I received this note from John Buffum this morning:
Hi all,
One day we knew it would happen - but somehow we hoped against hope that it was still some time in the future. Tom passed away quietly in the early hours of June 26.
We all knew him and had many good times listening to his wealth of information and especally his jokes. His "fire-side chats" at the Tyee were unforgettable. We'll all have our own stories and I'm sure we'll all now cherish them more.
Ralph Beckman, who knew him well even before I did, and I may put together a low key tribute to Tom at the MFR awards.
Since my e-mail address book is small, please pass this along to other friends of Tom - he certainly had many.
