He and Avsim are major pillars of our hobby, from way back - this is very sad news. Cudos to him for thinking of Avsim at a time like this. As Neil said, "I hope the time he has left is full of meaning. smiles, love, and family, and with as little pain as possible." Certainly be thinking of him.

Hard to find words to express my feelings about this heartbreaking news...

I would therefore also like to wholeheartedly echo Neil's words " may the time he has left be full of meaning. smiles, love, and family, and with as little pain as possible ". And what a brave man he is even keeping a humorous stance and still thinking of the future of Avsim as the most important issue of his announcement...

Tom is a monument in the flightsim community and will stay so forever, you couldn't have said it better, Navtech.

Sad and difficult news to hear. My thoughts and prayers are with him, his family and friends, as well as the Community. I have been a member at AVSIM for a long time so anything I can do to help maintain and support it's presence will gladly be undertaken.
 
Very sad news indeed.
My prayers are with him and his family.
I hate to read such sad news,there were too much in the last few months.

You've given us much.

You've made life richer for so many Tom, thank you, and may your life be filled and blessed with those you love.

It saddens me very much to hear this. Tom, you are in my prayers, and I hope you can spend the time with those you love, without pain.
 
Being in my 4th year of remission after my second chemo treatment, this is painful. Not for myself, but I cannot help myself but feel intensely for people who suffer from this horrible disease...

My most positive thoughts go out to Tom and his loved ones.
