Words I need to share with our Community

Recommended Posts

Tom,

 

I do not know what to say or wish... as the future has already been written. Too bad you already know yours... or maybe this should be seen as an opportunity for you and your very close relatives, friends.

 

Allow me to use a catchphrase that most of us know. I mean it sincere. Live long and prosper.

 

All the best.


Regards,

Vital Vanbeginne

Tom, so sorry to hear the news. You have a great staff at AVSIM to take care of it. I hope you are able to take the time to spend as much quality time with your family and friends that time will permit. From the bottom of my heart, my prayers and my families, will be with you. May God bless you...............

I'm at a loss for words Tom, my prayers go to you and your family. I've known you since day one and have never respected anyone in the flight sim community more than you. You're also the reason I joined AOPA way back in the day and started taking flying lessons.

 

I'm in Ohio, please let me know if I can be of any help, and I mean anything Tom - just let me know and I'll be there!

 

Please take care of yourself and your family!!

I was flabbergasted to read this.  I'm hoping there's some sort of miracle for you Tom.  If AVSIM were to fold under today, I consider myself a better person because of all of your tireless behind the scenes efforts and the pleasure it gives me to be part of this community.  I'm praying that AVSIM will not go under and that God takes you under his wings in peace.

 

Although I've never met you in person, thank you from the bottom of my heart for the joy that is AVSIM and providing the thousands of us a great place to share, learn and just simply have fun.

Damn, Tom, this is just awful news. I don't know what the right words are in a situation like this. I'm glad we got to meet on several occasions. I still remember the various Avsim conferences as some of the most fun I've had in 'simming. You've built a truly impressive entity with Avsim, and I hope it's some consolation that it will continue after you've left us - it's quite a legacy. I wish you the best of luck, peace, and comfort as you finish your journey, no matter how long it takes. 

 

Bravo Zulu!

There are no words that I can offer except "I am so sorry". As other have said and will continue to say, thank you for all you've done for the flight sim community.

I can't believe this! I am so saddened to hear this news. Please spend your time with your family. I hope and pray there will be some miracle that will eradicate this disease!

 

Having met you in person several times I know of your dedication and enthusiasm to the flight sim community. I will never forget the joy you had at the Denver conference about flying the B747 simulator!!

 

You are in my prayers!

Tom,

 

from me and my family, we wish you strength and courage in this situation.

 

Amazing that you consider Avsim more important than your own health.
