Dont be down! Things like this happen. I too lost a fried a couple of years ago. His name was Brian and he died at 12 years old. I was down that whole month. But always keep your head up high and obsess about the past and what could have been done to stop death. You will drive yourself crazy. Always look on the bright side and life will turn out a 100% more positive. You have my goodbye to Tom.

actually im ok ...i just felt the man deserves a little credit for his achievments in the rc world....not many know him now adays but 20 years ago he was a top electric motor manufactuer....he promoted the hobby for 20 more years after he sold his business and although he didnt race anymore he was always at the local track spreading good cheer

Think of the good times man, think of the good times. I cant say that I feel your pain because im not you, but no one can out run death, and this man defonetly lived life to the fullest and died a hero in many R/C 'ers mind (including me) God bless you tom, and my prayers are with your family.
