Please accept our sympathy for your loss. Although we didn't know Tom closely, mostly through motorcycles and ABATE, and hadn't seen him in some years we were still saddened to hear of his passing. I remember him always smiling with a hearty "good to see you again" greeting. He was the kind of person you could bump into somewhere on the road, spend a few minutes sharing a tale and a couple laughs to catch up, and part with a hug or a hand shake and the day was just a little brighter for having shared that bit of time with him. R.I.P. (Ride In Paridise) Tom.
