Dear Tom,
 Thank you for your courage and courtesy in letting us know of your impending departure from this life. I can see you have been a regular and positive contributor to this forum  and that you reflect the best aspects of it.
 
 Sadly we have never met, and I am the poorer for that,
 
 God Bless,

Tom, 
 I’ll always remember the help you provided me on a gun purchase. I only wish I could have returned the favor.
 
 The Lord make his face shine upon you and give you peace.

Tom,
 I don’t know if you would remember, but I met you once at the Cabela’s store in Sydney, Nebraska back in 2012. I was  touring around the western United Sates at the time and had stopped to visit the Gun Library. You happened to be in there working on mounting a rifle scope. I was very interested in the AyA 4/53 Cabela’s Classic shotguns, so you took the time to show me the guns in stock and answer my questions. I told you I was a Canadian, so couldn’t purchase directly. You said that wasn’t a problem, that you exported to Canadians. As such, when I got home, I purchased the shotgun from you and within 21 days it arrived through my importer into my hands. I recall that you were very knowledgeable, and generous with your time. Thank you for that. Now when I go out into the field with my AyA, I will always remember where it came from and our meeting.
 
 May God comfort and Bless you in this final trial of life. Praying for you. Heaven awaits. My mother had a supernatural visitation back in 1960. It only happened the one time, but it changed my family. That day God pulled back the veil and permitted her to glimpse the beautiful city that awaits us all if we believe. Always Trust in the Lord. God Speed.

Tom, I always enjoyed talking and shooting with you at Flatwater. I recall you graciously handing me your Dickson to shoot at one station, and I couldn't miss with it. About a year later you sold me my W.R. Pape. I still have the description you wrote of the gun for Cabela's, and I enjoy hunting with it to this day. I wish you fair winds and following seas, in this life and the next. 
 Brad
