Thanks for the kind words about Tom. Tom and I have been living together since 1994 and married 4 yrs this Feb.
I know it was important to Tom. He took great pride to be the lead plumber on Ask Me Help Desk and monitor.
I encouraged Tom to get on a site that would appreciate all the hours, which in the beginning for years he answered questions from 6:30 am to late evening 7 days a week, and to keep his mind sharp.
Tom was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 1994, had surgery, seed implants, and kicked it's @ss. (Tom's words not mine)
But as you know Tom battled with cataracts, then macular degeneration. You helped him to get Dragon Speak.
But after awhile it stopped working so I read the questions to Tom and typed his answers and posted them for him for the past 5 years.
Tom then suffered from mouth, throat and gum cancer and kicked it! Surgery and 50 radiation treatments.
Tom's greatest pride came was when you came to visit us and rode his chopper bike.
In January 2013, Tom was told he had irreversible chronic lymphocytic leukemia and the doctor told him he had 3 weeks to live.
COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) but with the taking of wheatgrass and Paw Paw cells and no chemo the cancer reversed and the COPD vanished.
But Tom now at the age of 89, got cancer again and pneumonia and lost his battle.
Tom was born April Fools day
April 1, 1927 - December 10, 2016.
Here is Tom's letter that he gave to me in preparation of this day:
