Tom Elliott

9 February 2011

Last night Tom Elliott, a Senior Technical Associate in the SRF 
Institute, succumbed to complications of a chronic illness. His friends 
and colleagues at JLab will miss him very much. Tom joined the lab in 
1987, arriving as part of the team led by Ron Sundelin that was 
transplanted from Cornell University to set up an SRF lab at JLab and 
build CEBAF. Tom's creative skills have contributed to vital 
developments that continue to serve diverse needs. Beginning early as a 
chemical processing technician, Tom broadened to be responsible for 
creative use of the lab's sputter-coating system and specialty brazing 
systems. Tom showed no hesitancy to take on very technique-sensitive 
tasks. He frequently lived at the interface of joining dissimilar 
materials. His legacy includes all of the rf windows built into CEBAF. 
Tom alone also brazed all of the FEL optical out-coupling mirrors from 
the original IR-demo to the most recent UV record. Ever with an eye to 
creative, yet disciplined solutions, Tom contributed to many of our 
shared successes. We will miss him.
