Tom Chaffin was my first law firm boss at RPI. I was his corporate and tax paralegal. He was always an my advocate, mentor, and friend. Among many remarkable memories, Tom pulled out a $100 bill on two occasions as gifts to me for earning an A in a law school class. I was working 80% time, going to law school 75% time, and had 2 children. He couldn't believe I ever got an A. Today my son earned an A+ in a law school class and I gave him $100. I went to send Tom an email and thank him again for his support. I will carry fond memories of Tom with me forever. His legacy lives on. Belated condolences to his lovely family.
