Joined: Aug 2007 Posts: 1,301 | I like Donna needed some time to process this sad news after reading it 24 hours ago.
Charm joined 7 months after me and right from the beginning his posts were so rich in both humour, accurate and well-informed information.
My sincere condolences go to Bev, his family and friends. Also to you Christine and all the other survivors who got to meet him on the OCF walks and those that got to know him through the forum.
Thank you also for the link to the lovely photo of Tom and Bev.
How wonderful that the proceeds of his Memorial Fund Donations will go to the Oral Cancer Foundation. I will be doing that today.
His posts will live on for all of us here and inspire and inform new members in the future.
