Death of Tom Troyer 5/20/22 (5/31/22)

Tom Troyer, a DOJ Tax alumnus, died on 5/20/22.  The Washington Post obituary is here.  Tom was a giant in the tax law as his obituary evidences.  The obituary indicates that he served in several important government posts but does not mention his Tax Division service specifically.  My database indicates that he served in the Court of Claims section from 1962 to 1964.
