So sad!

Yes,he will be missed!

Oh my word. How awful. So sad to hear this. May the good Lord comfort his family and all his friends.

I'm so sorry to hear this. Tom was such a giant within our community.

Oh, so sorry to hear this.
I'd been wondering about him--missed his comments and his puzzles. He seemed a very nice man with a zest for life.

Thank you for letting all of us know. I appreciate it. I'm not on any social networks.

That's very sad news.

My condolences to all. I enjoyed his puzzles very much.

As soon as his daughter told me, I knew he deserved our memories and prayers.

So sad

:-(

It's very hard to believe he is gone. He was such a big part of webpbn. My condolences to his family.

This is terrible news. I haven't been a member of the community nearly as long as others who have posted here, but it was always good to see his puzzles or comments.

Condolences to his family.

Sending love and hugs to his family. I will really miss his puzzles. They were among the best.

He will be missed. Condolences to his loved ones.

I loved his puzzles. I know that we all value our privacy in this day and age, but I feel that we are a family. I loved it when Aldege told us a bit about himself. I cried when Jan died, and now I'm crying for Tom. Was he sick? How old was he? I hope I'm not crossing any lines by asking. Love and prayers for him and his family.

I echo all of you. I think we all form some sort of mental construct of the people on this wonderful site, based on their puzzles and comments. Tom was a free-wheeling sort who found the fun and pleasures of life every day. Wow, I can't believe how sad I am for someone (and hos family and community) I've never met. Godspeed, Sensei.

It is always a joy to sit and solve puzzles by you all. I'm not the creative one, to make puzzles that might be remembered, but I have found so many who are, here. Tom was one of the best, for sure. His quality and, as so many of you have said, the fun of so many of his themes and ideas, will be very sorely missed. What a strong community this is, only online for so many of us. As many of you said, I never met, really, any of you, and yet I am very, very sad that Tom is gone. Rest In Peace, Sensei. You are already missed.

He will indeed be missed! :-(

My condolences to Tom's family and the webPBN community. Though his puzzles make up only 2% of my completion portfolio, each of them provided 100% satisfaction. I am particularly fond of his ability to put beauty in a small package (e.g. the namesake puzzle #23159).

Sending our condolences <3

So sad to hear this...I'm so sorry.
