From the first time I met Tom Lynch, I knew he was a truly special person. He was bright, funny, charming and cared about the most important things in life–how other people are treated. His color blindness with regard to race was an amazing and endearing trait. He certainly influenced by career choice, and many of the other decisions I have made in life. He had a wonderful and truly beautiful family. This world is a better place because he was a part of it. As I have often said, and it is particularly true this time: "The good die young, no matter how long they live." Goodbye old friend. I love you.
