PIA/GATF Mourns Passing of Tom Destree, Long-Time Editor-in-chief

“PIA/GATF lost an incredible team player this week. Tom was a very talented editor whose dedication and commitment was only exceeded by his genuine nature. He will be greatly missed,” said Michael Makin, PIA/GATF President and CEO.

Mary Garnett, PIA/GATF Executive Director: “Tom was a very low-key, not-in-the-spotlight gentleman, yet his contributions to our organization and our lives were huge. Through his long career at PIA/GATF, he touched virtually every printed piece that left this building. He was our Peer-of-the-Year for 2007. Tom set an example through his steadfast dedication and personal outlook that we all appreciated, admired, respected, and will sorely miss.”
