AVSIM is already immortal.

 

What a great expression. Very true.  Tom has created something that Cancer cannot touch.... a community; a sum that is greater than it's parts.

I am very sorry to hear of your situation.  It seems rather odd to wish you 'good luck', or 'all the best', so i will simply hope that you experience no pain and have a peaceful end.

I'm so very sorry Tom to hear this, this is really upsetting and came as a shock and I have no words apart from thank you for all you've done. Please spend time with your family and more important things, Avsim will continue ticking along.

Tom, May your sky always stay blue, may your landings be safe..

Your legacy lives on..

Hi,

When I read your words the only reaction  I can have is to bee deeply sad.. I'm leaving in Paris and what I know from ou is just through Avsim ; something like a companion in my life which is also on the down side.

You say : I'm just worry about Avsim. I hope but I don't believe you'r speaking the truth.

Even my english is too bad to find the words I want to tell you. I can just have respect for your courage and felela lot of empathy with you.

Could I do something to help, I'd do it . No matter the distance , the language...

I'm thinking of you and hope you'll find the strengths

to go over the moutain.Our last way is not an easy one

From Paris with all my thoughts for You

no words to express my deepest sympathy and concern

 

don’t take their pessimist prediction to heart; live each day to the fullest, don’t give up Tom!

 

be brave, and may GOD bless you my friend

 Tom, you have made a tremendous impact in this world, and your name will continue to be on the front pages of flight simulation history for ages to come.  I'm very proud to have met you at the 1st AvSim social.

Open up AVSIM as I do almost every morning to see what's new and I read this. I don't know what to say, except I believe that AVSIM will take care of itself and flourish just as you intended Tom. I hope you find peace, and I think you may have already. All I can really say is God Bless!
