I second everything Steve, and Mark, and Diane said. All of us who were
blessed to work alongside him will forever remember him with fondness
and gratitude. And let's not forget that he was the only one who Stuart
Beal trusted to take care of NONMEM and bring it forward into 21st century.

giant in our field and I will miss him.

Dear NM-Users,
Regrettably, I am writing to let you know that Dr. Ludden passed away
Tuesday evening, 30JUL2024.
I was able to get there over the weekend prior to visit him and his
family.
During his wakeful moments we had some good scientific discussions.
We talked a lot about NONMEM and how its functionality and utility has
expanded since he retired. He was pleased to hear about the changes.
He was surrounded by family for the days leading up to the end. They
were all appreciative that I was able to get there and tell him (and
them) how much he meant to all of us and the impact he had on our careers.
I think memories of Dr. Ludden were characterized perfectly by Marc
Gastonguay, “I am forever grateful for the positive impact that Tom
had on my life and career, not to mention the tremendous, although
often underappreciated, contributions he made to the disciplines of
clinical pharmacology and pharmacometrics. His humble brilliance will
be missed and fondly remembered.”
