So sorry to hear this, Leo. Tom was a student of mine when I still lived in the L.A. area. Very nice guy. Know the cause of death? Hope you're well, my friend.

Thanks for the mention, Leo. Tom was one of my earliest steel students, super nice guy (and tall!), hard to believe I've outlived a student.
