Words cannot express the shock of this news. Tom was a wonderful person to work with. He shared his lab knowledge freely and was able to share it at just the right level for those he was speaking with. Tom was always happy and willing to share a smile or story when meeting. Tom will be missed by so many.

I am deeply saddened by the news of Tom's passing. We worked together closely on many initiatives at DI, and he was always so very kind, patient, and involved. He has been a wealth of wisdom for me personally, bringing me up to speed on so many things. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family, all of us at DI, and anyone else lucky enough to know Tom.

Tom, you will be remembered as a kind and generous person with your energy, time and knowledge. You were always willing to share your expertise and helped mentor me through those early product owner days. Your advice, guidance, suggestions, and friendship will be missed by me and so many more. Rest peacefully, my friend.

Tom would show up at any event with a smile. He made sure that even in the toughest of discussions it was a positive and rewarding experience. He asked the deep questions, maintained such professionalism, and was one of the quickest to make people laugh. I think my last meeting with Tom ended with me throwing the biggest wrench in his plans; on one hand I feel bad for it and on the other hand he loved it so I don't feel that bad. That ability to have carefully laid plans be upended and still love that it happened will sorely be missed. He was a pillar of this company.

If you were in a meeting, Tom, I knew I was going to get a great question or comment. You were never a bystander - you were always in the arena working arm-in-arm to solve the issue of the day. Thank you for sharing your lab wisdom, passion and insights with all of us at DI. You have been an important part of our community and journey. My thoughts and prayers are with your family during this difficult time. You will be missed greatly.

Two years ago, when I started working at DI with no background in clinical laboratory work, it was Tom who was able to patiently communicate the workings of a clinical lab in a way that anyone could understand and appreciate. I so appreciated his patient and giving nature, and the heartfelt commitment he gave to his work was evident to everyone. Tom, you will be missed by many!!

My thoughts, love and prayers go out to Tom's Family and Friends during this time. There is no better angel to have watching over you all than Tom. Tom was my mentor + coworker + friend at Sunquest and here at DI. Not only was his laughter infectious but so was his passion for improving a patient's health care experience. Tom, you will be greatly missed!

Shocked and another lesson life is too short to connect. We've known each other for over 12 years and was so happy when I recommended you to be part of our team here at DI. You were a wealth of knowledge and so customer focused. I remember the week we traveled together up the West coast doing customer site visits. We shared the gift of music! Being Blood Bankers! Shared many meals together with great conversation. We lived so close to each other and so glad we were able to meet for dinner with our spouses. So saddened by your untimely passing and regret not connecting for dinner again and having you fix my guitar. This is not a goodbye but a see you later my friend. Rest in peace.
