I’m so sorry to hear of Tom’s passing. He was always nice when I called to bug him about GE projects. You all are in my thoughts and prayers.
While I did not know Tom well and had only met him a couple of times I can tell you he was a very well respected member of the GE team . He was well liked by the internal team as well as our customers and was a pleasure to be around. Our thoughts and prayers go out to your family now and in the future.
