This is the first I've heard of the news. What a shock. I watched him on several days of the contested case hearing; he seemed quite a character. My thoughts are with his family, friends, and colleagues.

It was quite a shock when we were told of his demise. So unexpected. My Mother called me (on the day he died) to make sure his/our ohana here on Moku o Keawe, knew we stand with them in this trying time.

While some people here on PW have "horse blinds" on (especially on this topic), the human factor is lost. Now, the people who alot of you discount as "protestors", are the first ones to offer his ohana support. Quite ironic.

Very surprised this is the first you have heard, Mr. Tom (and others, who purport to be so well advised re: TMT and all that surrounds this case), of his passing. He was one of the main legal minds in this TMT debacle. I do know the stress on him was immense (during our last conversation, a few days before his passing).

May we ALL realize that life is too short, and each and every one of the people involved in this case (on both sides) are human beings, with ohana.

Mahalo for your response, Mr. Tom (and my aloha to Pam, please).

JMO.

Thank you so much for thinking of me

But I'm sorry to hear of someone's death--my condolences to his family and friends.
