It was a shock to learn about TP's passing. He had always been supportive of junior scholars. I have benefitted much learning from TP, and to have received his support and assistance. Indeed, it has been a complete privilege and honor to have known TP, and to have interactions with him on a rather frequent basis, especially relating to PACIS matters. To me, he is always a visionary senior scholar who is wise and who takes care of all around him. Thank you and a salute to you, TP!
