All,
One of the members of PNWVHF asked if I knew how Tom was doing. I sent an email to a good friend Ryan, who had helped Tom and his sister with his estate, inquiring about his health.
Ryan responded that Tom passed away yesterday. I'm floored and shocked as I had this email waiting to send until I got picture sizes reduced for several months. Sending it yesterday on the day of his passing was unintentional and now I feel was very insensitive. I'm sorry.
My condolences to anyone who knew Tom. As I have heard from many people, he was a brilliant engineer who contributed greatly to the art and science of amateur radio and the other fields he was involved in.
I do not have an obituary but if I get one or hear more, I will send it on.
Regards,
