Another Giant Taken From Us

We learned today of Tom Speh's passing. He joins a growing legion of the pioneers, trailblazers, and intrepid adventurers who largely created our magnificent profession.

The losses, growing, all hurt; this one hurts badly.

Dr. Speh was a teacher without peer, a mentor, a candid observer, and one who gave back to us and our organizations beyond any reasonable expectation. He was a keen mind, a strong thinker, a fervent RedHawk, and an example to us all.

Tom fought the Great Satan of cancer longer and harder than most of us could hope to. We will more than miss him, as a leader, as a force in supply chain management, and as a person.

Requiesat.
