I am truly saddened to hear this Tom. I wish for peace and comfort for you and your family. Thank you so much for Avsim and everything else you've done for our community. The sim community is so much the better for your having been in it.

It's good Tom you are reaching out to expose your fears so others can care for and encourage you.  Soak that up.

It's a free gift for you.

 

Regardless of your time left, I pray you are able to tap into a source of comfort this world cannot provide and gifted people

can find ways to distract you from disappointment and focus you on accomplishment with your friends, co-workers and family.

 

Your legacy isn't in this time of extreme vulnerability but in your life long service- particularly the hidden sacrifices no one knows about

but God.  Most of us don't know when we're leaving this planet.  That you know is a gift to you and others so you and they can make

the best of this time together without the false front of invulnerability we all wear to defend ourselves..

That's absolutely terrible news to hear.  I don't really know what to say Tom, but please be sure that my thoughts go out to you and your loved ones.

Over 10 years here and AVSIM is still my favourite FS site :-)

I was afraid this was coming.  :(

 

My best, best wishes to you and all of yours, and I'm so sorry to hear it.

 

Take care.

We are all connected..... To each other, biologically...... To the Earth, chemically...... To the rest of the Universe atomically.

I'm very very sad...Don't know what to say...We all have to keep on hoping and counting on God.Nothing is over yet.

Words can't describe my shock and sadness with this announcement. You have and always will be the one person I have had the greatest admiration and respect for in the flight simming community. Even though we've never met, I consider you a friend.

Thank you for all you've done for us and for the simming community.

 

I am sending prayers to you during this trial.

 

May God bless and keep you. 

Thank you.

I am sorry to hear of your life ending battle. Your legacy is in the thousands of people you have reached  and enriched through AVSIM. When you meet your maker, he will say this is my son of whom I am justly proud. Good job, good life hold your head high.
