A ceremony celebrating the life of Dr. Thomas was held on March 24, 2003. It was attended by over 100 colleagues, friends and family members. Dr. Thomas was remembered for his innovative research in temperament and his courage in challenging the conventional wisdom of the time, behaviorism and psychoanalysis, for which he was soundly criticized. Speakers included William B. Carey, MD, Sidney Thomas, his brother, and his three sons. Musical interludes were played by violinist and developmental pediatrician, Yeou-Cheng Ma. A reception followed.

See links to Dr.Carey's remarks and photos of the ceremony.

It is with great sadness that we report the death of Dr. Thomas who died Wednesday in New York City at the age of 89. Those who knew him will miss his intellect, affability and commitment to the well being of others. His obituary, taken from the New York Times is reprinted here
