To the Schneider family. I moved from Waterloo 8 years ago and some of my favourite memories are skiing on your beautiful property which you so generously share with the community. I didn’t know Tom but believe I saw him and definitely had chatted with Jane in the past. Reading his obituary, I feel I know him even better. His passing is a huge loss to your family and the whole community. I hope wonderful memories of your time with him can help ease the pain. Thank you all for what you do for Waterloo.

To the Schneider Family
I am writing on behalf of the UNECE Secretariat in Geneva. We are all profoundly shocked and deeply saddened by the news of Tom's passing. Tom was a much valued and liked member of our Expert Group on Resource Management and caught up with many of us here in Geneva at the end of April.
Please kindly accept our sincere sympathies at this very difficult time. May Tom rest in peace.

On behalf of both my wife Malika and children Nermeen and Kenz, but also of his many friends and colleagues in the UN Economic Commission for Europe's Expert Group on Resource Management of which Tom was a long-standing, much admired and much appreciated member, we all pass on to his beloved partner Susan and daughter Ella, and to his family, friends and university colleagues and students, our profoundest condolences and shared shock and sadness at his sudden passing.
Tom's smile lit up every meeting he attended with us, and with it his modest brilliance and unassuming exercise of his remarkable analytical powers gave us all so much support and confidence in what we were doing together, working to achieve the delivery of the UN Sustainable Development Goals, that the task always seemed that much more achievable if he was part of the team.
Only a few weeks ago I was planning ahead with him the work we had in mind to do together in the next two or three years. Losing him makes us all the more determined to realise the task he had so selflessly agreed to take on with us.
Thank you Tom, for all you gave to us and above all the gracious manner in which you gave it. It was an honour to befriend you and count you as our brother. You can count on us to continue the mission with your light in our hearts.

Tommy was an original soul. He was in a happy place on his cross country skis. I've had so much fun skiing and biking with Tommy over the years. My fondest memory of skiing with Tommy was during an early morning ski just two years ago. Westley (family dog), Tommy and I were at the top the "S Turn downhill at the farm, and the snow was plentiful and perfect. Over to our left is a second option we can take to descend and it's the toughest downhill out there. Death Gully" is the name we gave it. We went over and looked at it, and decided the time was right to test our courage. Tommy went first and just hit it. I had a perfect view. There are three very challenging turns with dips, and up and downs on banks (like a bobsled run). Tommy made it all the way down with speed and no hesitation, and finished the last turn with a text book telemark turn at high speed. I was in awe. He had many talents, and kindness flowed from him. I'm going to miss my friend, lots, be well Tommy!

Sending my condolences to family and friends. Thomas was my professor, and then he gave me the opportunity to work for him as a Research Assistant. I was inspired by his commitment to the CPA profession and how he used it to pursue his passions. Working for him as an RA was an absolute pleasure, and I will always remember and refer to the career advice he gave me.

Tom and I were colleagues at the University of Alberta. More recently, we re-connected as members of the Alberta Liabilities Disclosure Project (ALDP), where we worked to highlight the environmental costs of oil and gas production in Canada, particularly in Alberta. Tom was incredibly knowledgeable about the oil and gas industry and was incredibly effective in using his accounting knowledge to highlight the environmental costs of the fossil fuel industry.
My colleges and I on the ALDP Board will be holding a memorial meeting in his memory later this week.

I had Professor Schneider this past year and he was an amazing person.
I used to see him on my commute to TMU and we had pleasant talks.
In class he always thought the best for his students, wanting to provide the least amount of burden to already stressed students.
One of the kindest souls I have met and will be greatly missed
Rest in peace, Professor.

Tom was the kindest and most considerate colleague I have ever had the pleasure to work with, always willing to share the resources he created, always with a word of encouragement. As a professor he focused on making the student experience a positive one, reducing student's stress in any way he could. He said that students had enough to worry about and that we should make their experience in class a pleasant one...and he did just that.
A wonderful colleague and an excellent professor who will be forever missed at Toronto Metropolitan University.
