Tom McNew, right, chats with a customer during the 2015 APDSP Convention in Atlanta. Notice the ever-present bags of peanuts on his table.
We are one year late in announcing the passing of Tom McNew, but he deserves the recognition even at this late date. Tom, who owned Digital Engineering Systems (aka Digital ES), was a long-time supporter of IRgA and APDSP and was a cheerful presence at countless regional and national conferences. He was best known for handing out bags of peanuts from his booth! We are sad to learn of Tom's passing, and extend our condolences to his family. Tom was 79 when he died September 1, 2020.
