I looked you up tonight because my Twins expressed an interest in going out to your museum. I said, “Hey – I used to shoot with one of the guys who works there. I’ll look him up, shoot him an email. Maybe we can meet him there and take him to lunch.”

My heart sank when I read of your passing. I enjoyed shooting with you, our competition on the line, and our relaxed and funny bull-sessions in the clubhouse between rounds. Rest in peace, my friend. You are missed.

Fondly – Ed

He was a source of motivation for so many of us who shared his love of the stars. Tom, you are and will be missed. God bless.

Spruce Knob in West Virginia and Cherry Springs in Pennsylvania were our favorite dark sky locations. Unforgettable times. I can’t believe he is gone.

I enjoyed hearing about his enthusiasm and experiences with astronomy, cycling, and models. Was his death health related? Does his family recommend any charities for donations?

God bless you
