Some comments from former colleagues and listeners, mainly from social media: Andy Archer: “How terribly sad. I'm so sorry to hear about Tom's passing. He was a lovely guy and excellent company.”
Stuart Clark: “They say never meet your heroes but Tom was as lovely a man as he was a genius broadcaster and programmer.”
Bill Rollins: “So sorry to hear the sad news. Only met him a couple of times - a great chap and excellent broadcaster. RIP Tom. Condolences to his family.”
Bob Lawrence (Richard Thompson on Caroline): “I learned so much from him. So, so much. About radio, yes, but also about life. Over the years he never stopped giving and he was always right.”
Paul Graham: “So sad to report Tom Hardy ex Caroline and VOP passed away today. A lovely guy.”
Paul McKenna: “So sad to hear this terrible news. Not only a great programmer, but a great guy - kind and with a wonderful sense of humour. Rest in peace, my friend.”
