All the older Tombies here should remember him. And Dungeonbunny. Well,
fairytale story and all, they met up, fell in love, and she moved over here
and they married. After a time, ol TomBraider took ill, and the doctors
found brain tumors. The disease was in advanced state, and still they
tried several treatments, including chemo. Tombraider finally was given
over to Home Hospice care. Even so, he was a fighter, and he struggled to
stay in the battle come what may. It finally got him though. On May 24,
2011 the old Tombie slipped away at home in his own bed with his wife
holding him, comforting him.

What I knew in him is that he is one Tombie that found his very own Lara
Croft! :)

Sleep well old friend, we'll be along soon.

Can't believe even I posted the typos with this. We all knew him as Tom
Braider and TB.
Once it goes out to the internet, it's there forever.

Thank you for that. Some of the old Tombies that used to frequent this ng
would remember him. Izzy, ThunderChief, Arthur, GS and many others.

It's usenet -- I don't think TB would mind the typos. Thanks for
letting us know, McG.

I hope you're doing well and enjoying the grandkids as much as ever.

Hiya "Q" !! Yeah, I'm alive and kicking around still! Grandkids grind me
down fast if I try to keep up with em. I know when to sit it out and just
wait for them to run out of energy! ;-)
