I wasn't aware of any health problems, but then, I had only talked with Tom once or twice. I did a small project for Tom and asked for no compensation. Tom wouldn't hear of it and sent me a 'token of appreciation'.
My only dealings with him were positive.

Godspeed Sir.

I never got to meet Tom. But when I was looking for information about the 1968 Yenko Camaro´s and the MV coded 396 engines, he sent me e-mails with information about his unconverted car. It was much appreciated.
Rest in peace.

Oh man, what a shocker to hear this. Tom went way out of his way to help me out with parts ID in the past. Truly a stand-up guy and a true Chevy enthusiast long before these cars became all the rage. My heartfelt condolences to his family.
