Toomas Tiikma was a special man full of great manners. Yesterday, I knew that he passed away more than 3 years ago. July 2004 I sent him last mail asking how is it going? he answered wishing me the best in my new job… I thought he’s busy and I got busy myself after that, but it was always in my mind that he’s there and I’ll visit him someday(maybe I needed to apply for visa).Yesterday I don’t know how I ended up looking TTU, (thermal engineering dept.) webpage… I didn’t find Tiikma’s name in the personnel list and by searching on net I found that he died 12.09.2004.
Professor Tiikma was a different kind of people... he was a genius scientist but very modest. He was a very respectable man and full of kindness. What I can say... I really lost my Estonian father. I’ll pray for him and I’ll miss him.
