I met Tom in the late 70s, or early 80s, and we lived about 1/2 hour from each other. I had driven from Vancouver to the Winternationals in California with Tom before, and we traveled together for the 2018 FERR at Beaver Springs. We talked on the phone regularly after my wife and I retired and moved 4000 miles away, to the East coast, and it was pretty common to find several Emails or links from Tom almost daily until a couple of weeks ago.I had a face Time chat with Tom just over a week ago, shortly after he went into the hospice, it was painful seeing him like that, he looked like he aged 30 years since I visited with him at home, when I went back to British Columbia for a holiday in late May. So glad that I had that time to see him at that time. He was quite a character .RIP Tom.
