Sad news indeed. Tom battled his illness with determination and dignity, staunchly supported by Elly and a lot of his friends. I know that I will miss his presence on the range.
The thoughts and deepest sympathy of the Fitzroy- Caulfield and Grantville Rifle Clubs go out to Elly and family.

I'll never forget Tom's gutsy performance at Canberra last November. A strong character who will be missed.

G'day all,
the first time I saw Tom shoot was at my first Police & emergency Games at Glenrowans some years ago, 60/60/56 over 3/5/600 and I was awe struck.

A very sad loss for many, we are truely diminished.............

I heard from Gary Hunt that a card has been sent to Ellie and family on behalf of all F-Open shooters who have befriended Tom over recent years.
