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.

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.
