Making him 36, not 37. But either way, that's just way too young to go.
Very sad. Geez.

Thanks for letting us know about this, Steve.

(Has anybody here signed up on those websites that notify your online
friends if you die?)

No, I haven't done that yet. Who is going to notify them? But I do
always wonder about that since I'm due to have the big heart attack
any day now!

Sorry to hear about Tom Heald. We on the AOL used to chat with him
in the AOL Dave chat room for a few years. He was always a nice guy.

Maybe...My condolences to Tom's friends and family

I take it from the memorials to the heart and diabetes associates that
Tom died of what's called "natural causes"?

It sure didn't feel "natural" to hear of his death ... "cause" he was
younger than me.

A couple of pics from 2003:

A good guy and my word, the times I would've gone to dead air were it
not for him.

I'll have a thing up on TVB soon.
