family,</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">I am so sorry
to hear of Tom's death and we, the Bangladesh OpenstreetMap community want to
express our most sincere sympathies to the family during this difficult time. Tom
was a highly valuable and respected member of our great and dynamic global community
of HOT and OSM and the effects of his passing are already being felt the
community.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"><br></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">I knew from
Tom’s profile that he started osm with geocaching. What a bold career and life
he lived!! No obstacles stopped him in
his journey for contributing to humanity. From some HOT members I also have
known that he made many great contributions to the OSM and humanitarian field.
He was chair of LearnOSM working group. He told in his user’s profile “<i>Possibly
I can do some mapping while I'm away</i>”. We wish Tom will always be mapping in
heaven too. His work here will not soon be forgotten.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"><br></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Tom will be
greatly missed by HOT community and everyone here in Bangladesh community is
saddened by his death. Know that our thoughts and prayers are with Tom and his
family and friends during this difficult time.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"><br></span></p>

<br>
Last night I learned our dear friend and tireless contributor Tom Taylor passed away December 24th.<br>
<br>
Tom was the Chair of the LearnOSM Working Group where I met him. He was a mentor to me as a newcomer to the group, and always so respectful. He shared openly about his illness and treatments, and talked about his family in a way that made me feel a real part of his life. He’d mentioned recently he was learning to cook because his wife was ill, and made some light humor about it that made me smile. He also said he was not well, more than before. Tom was always so open about his illness but it’s always heart wrenching when someone you care for is truly gone.<br>
<br>
Tom interacted with many of us in the HOT community. It would be a fitting tribute to him if we all shared our memories and lauded his memory with his many contributions to the humanitarian work we do through mapping.<br>
<br>
Tom caught my heart and my respect. I will miss him very much.<br>
