This is such sad, sad news. Tom was a client of ours and a wonderful guy to work with. He loved teaching his students and he was a real contributor to the art of quality sound. All of us at Royer Labs mourn his passing and the nonsensical way he was taken from this world.

Sad news. Thoughts and prayers to Tom's family. I didn't know Tom, but he sounded like a great guy. Any gun owner should know to never shoot without first positively identifying the target. Who would shoot through a closed door?!?! Interesting that other writers assume that the shooter is a man. This shooting could have easily been perpetrated by a woman...

Tom was a teacher of mine 10 years ago at the Art Institute. I learned a great deal from him and remember how we all wanted classes with Tom. He will be missed by many. My condolonces to all his friends and family.

I was in Tom's Concert Sound and Advanced Recording Classes for a year From 2007-2008. Everything I know about mixing live and recording live I learned from Tom Pfaeffle. I had the honor of working with one of his clients: Random Manor. The circumstances of Tom's death anger me, but I know that it is not within my control to change them. Tom was a great man who was a family man first and a great audio engineer second. He worked closely with Jim Rivers (Paul Rogers, Bad Company, Queensryche) and Jim reportedly named Tom "one of the best engineers he had worked with". He will forever be missed as a friend and as a mentor. The Art Institute of Seattle will never be the same.

Never knew the man, but I am still sadded by "one of my own" passing. Senseless, yes. Hopefully this won't turn into a gun rights issue. Guns dont kill people. People kill people. The incident should be investigated, but the gun is/not at fault here. The (mis-) use of the weapon is more the issue.

Enough of the trite slogan, "people kill people." The fact that america is so awash in gun vilence - to an insane level - is proof that america is diseased at its core. The stupid american culture will not be able to shoot its way out of terminal decrepitude.
