Sad news Chris.  Tom was my first boss in DFO, way back in 1970.  A great guy.  He used to keep an aquarium in his office down on Robson Street (now home of the Pacific Salmon Commission) - that office was the focal point of the building, attracting so many people who all had a passion for fish.  At that time he was breeding Bettas, aka Siamese Fighting Fish.

You are right; he will be missed.
