Thanks for sharing.  Tom will certainly be missed by everyone who had the privilege of knowing him.

Simao,

Thanks for passing this along. Tom was a great guy and I've been fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with him off and on over the years. Our first encounter was the work on gateway decomposition in the ITU, ETSI, and IETF that ultimately became H.248.

Truly sad news for me.

Paul

Dear all,

Please allow me to pass along these sad news. 

As the elders amongst you may recall, Tom was an active SG16 participant since its beginning until mid-2000's, in particular under Q3/16's.

Best regards,
Simão

Friends,

After a prolonged illness, our friend Tom Taylor has passed away. He died in his sleep on December 24th, after spending his last day with his family. 

Tom's courage during his illness was an inspiration to everyone. He was a man of quick wit, kindness and integrity. He was a long-time contributor to the IETF, a mentor and a good friend.
