Dear WP2/16 experts,
I have just been made aware of the sudden death of Mr. Tom Geary and
his mother as attached. Tom worked with us in the previous study
period as Rapporteur for Question 11 (audiovisual communications
systems on circuit switched networks -- H.320, H.324 systems).
I also would like to express my condolences on the loss of Tom and his mother.
Best regards,
OKUBO Sakae

Dear Q.14 Experts,
It is with great sadness that I have to inform our colleagues that our
Q.14/16 Rapporteur, Mr. Tom Geary
and his mother passed away by the accident. I want to show the thought
of condolence.
It is really loss not only Q.14/16, but also ITU-T. Tom has been guided
as a leader of the Modem and Facsimile
Groups for many years and organized lots of meetings in the ITU-T SG16
and TR30.5 of TIA as a chairman.
For the Facsimile field, he solved a lot of difficult issues. We still
needed his experience, knowledge and help
in this field. It is indeed regrettable that we could not being
possible to meet and communicate Tom any longer
in the forthcoming January SG16 Geneva meeting.
I want to pray the mercy of Tom heartily
Sincerely yours,
Mitsuji Matsumoto (Chairman of WP1 of SG16 ITU-T)
