<---------- RIP TOM ---------->
Tom was always the first to chip in with some advice or information, I'm going to miss him. Thanks Tom, Mark Eckert
Wow, sad news. He was a very active member that we'll miss. RIP Tom, and thanks for your contributions.
GOD BLESS
We have a small widespread community with a common interest in our 57 Fords. When we lose one of the stalwarts of our 57 community it create a void in all of us. Rest in Peace and cruise in your 57 Kustom in peace.

Happy cruising Tom, you are missed............
God Speed, RIP Tom...
Bob, Wasn't quite sure how to respond to your post, but, and not that it matters, this thread was about 8 years ago. Unfortunately the story got worse. His son Tim inherited the '57 and joined our forum for some years. Tim was also a great guy, more so than any of us knew about until he also got terminally ill and passed. He was very youg as I remember, 40ish. My memory is not so good, I'm thinking Tim died about 2015. So, yes, RIP, but they are together again. The last we heard from Tim's wife was that their young son would inherit the car keeping it in the family. I'm hoping a few years down the road the son will gain an interest and join us as well.
remember, guys. Life is a vapor. It appears for a little while, then is gone. Find out what is important.
