Unfortunately I only met Tom in May 2024, online, though of course (!) I knew about him and his work together with Sandra. I immediately felt at ease and very happy to discuss ups and downs of practice with the wonderful pair. I was totally heartbroken by the news of his illness and then his passing away. From all the comments it is clear that Tom has left a considerable legacy both professionally and in his family ties. I am glad I go a chance to speak to him at least one in person, so I can cherish that special moment. I send Sandra deepest sympathy and courage to face the next chapter in her life.
