 Sad news...
I just heard from his wife that SG (aka Tom) has passed away. He went in this morning with heart problems, crashed several times, but didn't make it.
His wife is planning the arrangements. I don't really know what else to say...

His wife is planning the arrangements. I don't really know what else to say... Wow,.. I'm shocked I'd actually just spoke with him the other day. SG taught me a lot to both like, and dislike about this game. He played to win. I've both butt heads with him, and laughed with him. He will be missed.

 Re: Sad news...
We never know how much time we have on this earth. Thoughts and prayers go out to SG and his loved ones. We lost a good guy and a great supporter of TW in "The Ghost you LOVE to HATE!!! The J.R. Ewing of TradeWars."

 Re: Sad news...
I am terribly sorry to hear this I wish the best for his family and all of his loved ones. Trade Wars will never be the same without his antics and insane game edits. I will miss the big guy. If there is a donation place I can send something to help with any of his or his family’s needs for a final resting place. ICQ me @ 422848778 and let me know. Larry

 Re: Sad news...
This is sad news, and he will be missed, he and I butted heads at times and we got along at times, and had some laughs as well, my heart goes out to his family and to all of us who knew him well. I know I haven't been here in a long while, but wish to show my support to here on this matter and hope all well as well as Tom's family. Thanks Sing for letting us all know what happened. SG will be remembered and not fogotton, and will live on in the game forever now. When anyone plays the game always remember him.

 Re: Sad news...
I cried along with Diana when she called. All she asked was that I post here to let you all know.
SG is the first one who welcomed me back and spent time helping me to get TWX running. While it's true we were polar opposites on playing style, I will miss him very much.
He had more passion for this game than anyone else I ever knew. This has left a great void in our community.
RIP old friend

 Re: Sad news...
This is why holding grudges is really not the right way, I am glad SG and I had worked through things and have been on speaking terms the last month......transwarp engaged to a bigger and better place.

Posting here is easy, but getting ahold of people that we haven't seen in a while that aren't active is much more difficult. I don't have contact information for most of them, if you do and want to send out a msg, that'd be good. If not, send what you can to me and I will. Cruncher wrote: He had more passion for this game than anyone else I ever knew. This has left a great void in our community. RIP old friend He did a lot of things here on a daily basis. It's going to be tough to fill in that hole. Edit: If you want to let her know that this has been posted, or maybe point her here in case she needs anything, it might be a good idea.
