Dr. Thomas Henry Kunz (Fig. 1), an internationally recognized expert on the ecology and behavior of bats and Professor at Boston University, passed away on 13 April 2020 in Dedham, Massachusetts, at the age of 81 as the result of complications from COVID-19. Tragically, Dr. Kunz’s career was cut short when he was the victim of a pedestrian–automobile accident on 26 October 2011. He was struck crossing a street in Toronto, Canada, while participating in his favorite annual meeting, that of the North American Society for Bat Research (NASBR). He never fully recovered from the head trauma suffered and was not able to live independently, but he enjoyed daily visits from his wife and frequent visits from his children and grandchildren as well as friends. His wife, Margaret, who he described in his autobiography as “a major influence on my life through her companionship, love, support, and encouragement,” also became his advocate over this extended period (197:169; numbers appearing in parentheses without an author or year refer to articles in the accompanying bibliography). “Tom,” to his many friends and colleagues, was born on 11 June 1938 in Independence, Missouri, to William H. and Edna F. (Dornfeld) Kunz. He married Margaret Louise Brown on 27 December 1962 in Faucett, Missouri, Margaret’s hometown. Two children were born to Margaret and Tom—Pamela Kunz (Jeffrey Kwan) and David Kunz (Nicole, née D’Angelo) and five grandchildren. “Dr. Kunz was an inveterate handyman who built treehouses, created jigsaw puzzles, and taught his children to use power tools and drive cars with stick shifts. He loved canoeing, bicycling, traveling with his wife, and spending time with family. ‘He was handy and he was hands-on,’ said his son David, who works in finance in New York City. ‘I might have seen him fall asleep at his computer, but he never missed a single one of my games’” (McKenna 2020).
