Read MoreI just seen this today and I am shocked to learn that Tom has passed away. I am his neighbor across the street and we frequently talk about motorcycles. I was a bit concerned over the past months when I did not see him in the neighborhood and I even asked one of our neighbors if she saw Tom lately. Then, today, I searched his name online which led me to this site. Condolence to the family left behind..... God bless you Tom.

Tom McShane and Bruce Widell on Cassville Ferry
I just found this, and I'm sorry to read about his passing. We had just talked the day before. I wondered why I didn't hear anything back after I sent him information on becoming a motorcycle instructor for NIU. We rode together a couple of times last year - he was an incredible motorcyclist and had lots of energy. His last words to me were about looking forward to riding together again this year. :( Here's a picture of Tom with my brother while we rode the Cassville Ferry last year.
