        Tom was a friend from back in the late 80s, he was a member of the same local motorsports club that I got hooked up with when competing in Solo I and Solo II. He was one of a bunch of us running in 5.0L Mustangs at the time.

I had not seen or talked to him for several years, but this still hits pretty hard. He was very well liked and respected in the motorsport community, especially here in Canada.
