[SGVLUG] Article about Tom in the Glendale News Press

[Blank Reg]

Agreed. He was one of the nicest guys. It's a great legacy for anyone to be
known for. As one of the people who often just sat in the seats, I learned a
lot from his example. It was nice to see the church filled with lots of
people, hear memorable stories, and to get a chance to be there for a
meaningful goodbye. He will be missed.

Hi,

Tom, just to be clear, never claimed to be THE founder,
just a founding member. Which I have no reason to doubt due
to his character. He was one of the nicest guys I knew.
And I never knew him to not give credit to others their
appropriate credit.

According to his linkedin he had been with the SGVLUG
since 1997.

Honestly I believe the SGVLUG would no longer exist
had it not been for his contributions to ensure it
meet regularly even during the transitions and lulls.

I think he was often the glue which held the laminated
wood together which we call the SGVLUG.

I am sad to see him go. 

rest in peace tom.

thanks
matti
