Julie, I was sad to read about Tom’s passing.
I worked with him in Darlyne’s office when I first moved here from New York. He was such a straight- shooter that I thought he must’ve been from Yankee territory like me!
We ate at Serops once and boy did he love Lebanese food! I think he may have had Lebanese roots? He was one of the most critical and independent thinkers I’ve ever met. As one of the first colleagues I had in LA, that felt like a particular godsend (I was still getting used to people calling me ma’am). He was such a special man. My thoughts go out to his family.
