Hello everyone:
I am deeply saddened by Tom's death. I first met Tom in April 1992
just after he was licensed. Bill VE3DXY, Tom, me, and Bill VE3NFU,
Stu VE3IVX, Bernard VE3NB or Michael VE3PRW - I can't remember which
- went to the Pickering Fleamarket in VE3DXY's Volkswagon Diesel. Tom
and I became good friends and spent countless hours together working
on Club and personal projects, computers, enjoying fishing trips,
fleamarkets, etc.
Tom loved amateur radio and he loved helping people. He also loved
animals. Those who have known him as long as I did will remember the
myriad dogs and cats that were part of his family. And speaking of
family, he was enormously proud of his son, daughter and
granddaughter. He was looking forward to her wedding this fall and
although he won't be there in person, he'll be watching, I'm sure of that.
The Kingston amateur community was better with Tom in it. I have lost
a good friend and we as a community have lost a true amateur whom
we'll always remember and hold in the highest regard. We are all
better because Tom was one of us.
73,
Steve VE3KC
