Tom was one of the first folks I met on the Elecraft reflector and helped me a lot with my K2. We corresponded on and off through the years. We worked in contests and even met at a TenTec Hamfest way back when. He was always friendly and upbeat. I knew of his health issues, but I didn't

I first met Tom at the Elecraft booth at the Kirkwood, MO hamfest around 2000. He was vibrantly hyping the K2 which I had just started to build. He probably met 1,500 people that day. Through the years I'd call on Tom for help on various projects and he was always quick to respond. The
