Tom was a man of exceptional brilliance and strength whose devotion and love for his family inspired all who knew him. He was a proud "American by choice", a powerful voice for the cause of all humanity, a champion of human rights and a devoted friend to Hungary and Israel.
His message remains eternally relevant:
"The veneer of civilization is paper thin -- we are its guardians and we can never sleep."
