Tom was like a brother to me. Our association goes back to the 1970's. He was a great friend to almost all he met, and usually found a way to help everyone in one way or another. He battled lung deterioration for years before they finally gave him a transplant 3 years ago. Courageous he made it through the first year and gained strength the second. Then came the hideous form of Cancer that took him over in a few short months. I will always remember him on jet skies doing flips in the waves, exceeding expectations as a Club Complex Manager in Germany, and Mr Bingo the Military. His memory is solid and legacy will last.
May the good Lord keep him at his side and assist Liz in the comming months.

My condolences to Tom's family. Many of us on the Rhein Main Face Book page remember Tom well, especially his support for the Rhein Main Rockets. There were many who commented on the page and we want you to know he was a person well liked and appreciated during his days at Rhein Main.
