Tom was a great guy and an asset to Rennlist. RIP, sir.


If the world knew what Alan Gunn (AGLA) said to Tom, Alan would would be drawn & quartered before being fed to the lions. That's all I have to say about that.

+1. I had a few conversations with tom about the whole thing. Left a very bad taste in my mouth. RIP tom, and prayers go out to his family. He will be missed greatly.

Tom was a class act. I had several good conversations with him and I'm very saddened to hear that he passed away.

Worth mentioning that Tom Sila was md11plt.

Here is the thread that Andreas referenced: https://rennlist.com/forums/993-foru...ing-wheel.html

Tom's death is a loss for the board.

Oh no!!! Sorry to hear this.

I've met Tom on a couple of Mountain runs. Class guy all the way!

My prayers go out to him and his family.

Here is a picture of him in his car at 0:50 minute of the video on 2009 New Year's run.

Tom, our next run will be in your memory brother!

Thanks Andreas!

I can't just believe that we saw him a little over year ago when this video was taken.

Cancer sucks. Among the unfairest of all diseases.

More pics of him from that trip. I hope I haven't misidentified - apologies if I have.
