I learned so much from Tom over the last few years. He taught me how to be patient, tolerant and positive despite all the difficulties. His smile was always so expressive and I do not recall any encounter without one despite what he was going through. I learned from our conversations which always gave me food for thought. Anwar and I always enjoyed our social encounters and will miss him like all the people who have known him. We pray that Thelma and his family have some solace from his good memories smiles and eye sparkles.
