“ Tom was a bright light in my life from the very first time we met. A friendly, funny, incredibly smart and caring person who made me feel seen and appreciated right from the start of my time at Vicon. I was so proud to receive emails with his thoughts on our latest projects, he was an incredible figure to helm the Vicon family and his impact is infinitely lasting. I looked forward to his visits to the US, loved receiving news of his latest research or activities, and am thrilled that I was able to see him again in June. He will be so missed. ”
