I am very sorry to pass along sad news. Many of you here, knew Tom well. A great man, great contributor to Rennlist, and Porsche enthusiast.
I learned recently that Tom passed on March 4th. He long battled cancer. He was 44 and cremated.
I was privileged to meet Tom back in November when I purchased his '97 993 Turbo.
My prayers to his wife, Jen, and family.
When I Must Leave You
When I must leave you
For a little while
Please do not grieve
And shed wild tears
And hug your sorrow to you
Through the years,
But start out bravely
With a gallant smile;
and for my sake
And in my name
live on and do
All things the same,
Feed not your loneliness
On empty days,
But fill each waking hour
In useful ways,
Reach out your hand
In comfort and in cheer
And I in turn will comfort you
And hold you near;
And never, never
Be afraid to die,
For I am waiting for you in the sky!

A truely wonderful man who loved his family and cherished life. He counted his blessings every day. I'm lucky to have known him. My condolances to his wonderful wife and kids.

My condolences go out to Uncle Tom's family. he was a very special guy. I had a unique relation with him that he had tried to buy my car before me and paid for my ppi. there was a misunderstanding between him and the PO and I ended up with the car. It was like we were distant relatives who never met...I joked he was my rich uncle since he paid for the PPI. Truly a great guy that Rennlist will miss dearly. My prayers are with you "Uncle Tom".

Very sad, I asked Steve (ca993twin) just a few weeks back whatever happened to Thomas (MD11PLT)? Steve thought he was doing well since the last time he spoke to him his cancer was in remission. Attached is a link to when Thomas met up with Steve. May he RIP.
