I was so fortunate to get to know Tom B when I got to CGU. But he was well known to me way before I got here. I remember reading some of his articles as a graduate student at the U of Michigan. His loss is huge to me personally and to our field.- Debbie Freund, Claremont Graduate University

TomB as he was called was one of those special persons I have had the privilege to work with for over 20 years… One of the very few people still using the old methods of a #2 pencil and a notepad to write many of his correspondence and asking me for several drafts, I will surely miss not being able to do that for him. I have very fond memories of Tom and they will always remain with me. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.- Dan Lee.

I would like to express my deepest condolence. In fact, I do not know what to say, and i really cannot think what I need to do now. I wanted to help Dr Borcherding's family, but it seems they need more time to accept this unreal reality. Please let me know, if there is anything I can do for Professor Borcherding.- Hunjong Yoo, Claremont Graduate University

I am greatly saddened, and am heartbroken for Rhoda. Tom taught me some economics that I continue to teach to my own students, and brought humor and wisdom to our endeavor.- Stephen Marks, Pomona College

Once again we are reminded of how precious life is. The passing of Professor Thomas Borcherding is without a doubt a great loss in many respects. I shall remember him for his kindness, his wisdom, his humor, his passion for literature and history. He was a mentor and a friend.....and almost a grandfather. I will miss him dearly. Professor Borcherding taught me that in spite of approaching life's issues and challenges with objectivity and methodological rigor, we must also laugh more and appreciate the quirks and idiosyncrasies life has to offer. Rest in peace TEB. - Byron Ramirez, Claremont Graduate University

What a shocker! What a loss! Tom was the greatest, funny, outspoken, curious beyond restraint, larger than life, lit up any room he entered, regardless of whether it was filled with economists or others, and kept it lit. Everything after him is anticlimax. I can imagine Ross Eckert greeting him at the Pearly Gates and say “What took you so long?” And Tom responding: “Of course, we’re assuming that they’re pearly.- Ward Elliott, Claremont McKenna College

I am searching for words here, given the news. It is a horrendous loss for Rhoda, the boys, CGU, The Claremont Colleges, and to me personally. Tom was a personal friend. If I needed advice regarding life and academics, I would go to his house, or later to his condo near The Claremont Club. As you know, he taught frequently at CMC both in Econ 50 and in Public Choice. We will all miss him.- Manfred Keil, Claremont McKenna College

I have some very fond memories of Tom B.

I want to express my most sincere condolences to you. I have no words to express how deeply sorry I am to hear about Professor Borcherding. I'm in shock to here this news and my heart is filled with sadness. The world is a less funny, less interesting, less caring, and less honest place now.

Tom was a great mentor and did a lot for me. I will never forget how much interest he took in my education in Claremont. He pushed me think about how public choice and macro could interact, and was the true inspiration behind my interest in political economy and growth. - Chetan Ghate, Ph.D Economics (1999), Claremont Graduate University

Tom was a man of big heart and brain. It may have seemed that the latter dominated when he thrived on being politically incorrect or when he commented with some cynicism on politics on all levels. But his heart was there in the empathy with the people who pay the price for not being heard or listened to. On the personal level he was warm, helpful and had great empathy for the struggles of many students. They may have started out a bit scared but once they understood where he was coming from, they became devoted to him as professor and human being.- Class Wihlborg, Chapman University

Tom was a great colleague and mentor. From day one, as I stumbled my way figuring out how to be a professor, Tom was there to give me professional advice on any given issue. He wrote me incredibly thorough, helpful, and hilarious emails that taught me how to do it right. I'm very sad that he passed away so soon. I will miss him.- Joshua Tasoff, Claremont Graduate University

Hard to imagine Claremont without him. I am sure he will be his usual witty, insightful and brash self in the big seminar up in the sky. ( btw, the seminar reference was his own phrasing).- Tahir Andrabi, Pomona College

I have never taken his courses or was not his student. I always see him around at Tues talk and on campus. A professor like him carries a lot of weight for the institution. It is so sad to see him go. It is such a great lost for CGU.- Aye Aye Khaine, Claremont Graduate University
