My thoughts and prayers are with you. I worked with Tommy on the Lenovo team at SYNNEX. Sat two desks away so always got to hear Tommy's funny comments and fun banter. He was always a fun guy to be around and a great teammate. My prayers are with his family during this very sad time. May your good memories sustain you.

So very sorry for your loss. I worked with Tommy at Michelin and had many fond memories of our time together. I cherished his honesty and humor and I know he will be missed by everyone who loved him. I especially remember our trip to Salt Lake City for a computer conference, visiting the Great Salt Lake, a massive copper mine, and visiting a movie theater where they served food and beer at tables while we watched the movie which was unique for that time and awesome. Farewell dear Tommy.
