It was always inspiring and enlivening to meet Tom as a man who gave so much and who knew himself so well. My life was made merry and bright by meeting him and his remarkable family. I only hope the pain of losing him is mitigated by the love that surrounded him.

Tom Kirsch was considered the patron of AJB-Associação Junguiana do Brazil. During his reign as President of IAAP he and his wife Jean came to Brazil to meet with us..a group requesting entrance into the IAAP. We had great meetings with much warmth and rich exchanges. I for one learned that his wife Jean was from my little home town of Ashtabula, Ohio and the same high school!!...and here we were meeting for the first time in São Paulo...where I have resided for the last 47 years. This little fact added a touch of intimacy and awe which marked our relationship. He went on to be very supportive of the entrance of AJB into IAAP and of Analytical Psychology in Brazil..as a whole. We owe much to this great person. He is dearly missed in Brazil.

I’m felling a deep sorrow with the Tom’ death. He was a very important researcher and the very important historyan of the spread of the jungian moviment on the world. He helped us to developed the Jungian Brazilian Association (AJB) at its beginnings.
My sincere condolences. Rubens Bragarnich, AJB/IAAP
