I am so sorry to hear of Tom's death in January. I worked with and for Tom for many years at the BLS (1966 to his retirement in 1995). He was a very smart and innovative person. He allowed you the freedom to do your job while providing great advise and strong leadership.
Tom's family should be very proud of him and his accomplishments.

I worked with Tom on the Producer Price Index Revision at the Bureau of Labor Statistics, during which time we had many conversations. He told me that he had gone to Oberlin to study music but realized that he loved music too much to use it to earn a living, so he studied economics instead. I enjoyed knowing Tom and his wonderful piano playing.
My heartfelt sympathy to Robert Thompson, his other friends and family.
