This is very sad news and I, like many others, when starting off on my computer
journey, regularly visited his website for useful information and lists.

This is Tom junior, correct? My very first email hosting service was with the
WhiteStick website back in the day when they used to provide such service. And
this website was indeed a great resource to me when I started learning how to
use computers. I do hope I am not having a senior moment, but all this was at
the time when the website was run by the late Tom senior. Like father like son
is all I can say.
May his soul rest in peace.

Hi all,
It is with great sadness I have to let you know that Tom Lorimer, of the
world famously visited website, www.whitestick.co.uk has sadly passed away.
We were in daily contact with Tom via Skype and on Tuesday night, he bid
night night feeling unwell. Yesterday, we didn't hear from him at all and
last evening I decided to phone 101 to just make sure he was Ok.
After a few exchanges with the police, they broke down his door with the
assistance of a joiner and found Tom in his bed. I truly hope he left us in
no pain.
Tom was a fantastic man, he inspired me to get involved in building websites
with my association with the blind golf community but most of all, he was a
real pal, we will miss him big time!
I'm sure Tom has had an influence on so many people in this forum.
Rest in peace big fella, you are immortal!
