Tom was a truly remarkable, kind, compassionate human being and an eccentric, brilliant genius who helped inspire myself and so many others in their teaching practice. He was my mentor and friend who helped to give me the courage to be myself, to let go and to not be afraid of my more wild, creative side. He helped me feel like I didn't need to hide who I really was and I could embrace my true self and encourage my students to do the same and flourish. Tom, I am heartbroken you are not physically with us anymore but your legacy will live on in the hearts of all who loved you and in the many lives you touched. You have lit a candle in this world and at London Met that will never be put out. My heart goes out to Sandra - I can't even start to imagine the grief you must be going through - we are all standing with you. Thank you Tom for all you did for me and so many others. You will never ever be forgotten.
